Kempner B #8 (API 42-485-40011) is a well in Wichita County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed October 18, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 23, 1984, permitted to 4,260 ft.
It was permitted by Johnson, F. T., JR. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including KMA, Caddo.
Its lease has reported 37.2K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
