WELL · 42-469-31492 · DISTRICT 2
Shelton-West Unit -B- #8W
Victoria County · Palo Alto (6800 Frio) field · Vertical
Shelton-West Unit -B- #8W (API 42-469-31492) is a plugged well in Victoria County, plugged May 16, 2018, last operated by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Houston.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits between 1979 and 2025, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Shore Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Houston on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Frio, 6600 Frio, 6800 Sand, 6800 Sand Lower.
Its 3 leases have reported 15K barrels of oil and 122K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit; TexNet located 0 M2+ earthquakes within 10 km over the last two years.
