Laycock 4 #8 (API 42-483-31227) is a well in Wheeler County operated by Reneau Oil CO., completed September 7, 1985.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 18, 1984, permitted to 2,300 ft.
It was permitted by Panhandle Drilling Company and has since transferred to Reneau Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Dolomite.
Its 3 leases have reported 23.7K barrels of oil and 96K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
