Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Estes CD #8 (API 42-485-36145) is a well in Wichita County operated by Texas Energy Operations LC, completed May 25, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 4, 1980, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Minor, Bill and has since transferred to Texas Energy Operations LC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 26.3K barrels of oil and 72 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
