Wharton County · Magnet Withers field · Shut IN · Vertical
Franz J. H. #8 (API 42-481-35463) is a well in Wharton County operated by Orx Resources L.L.C., completed December 30, 2021 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 7, 2020, permitted to 5,700 ft.
It was permitted by White Oak Operating Company LLC and has since transferred to Orx Resources L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Anahuac, Het, Frio.
Its lease has reported 363K barrels of oil and 291K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
