Doyle-Alpha #8
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Doyle-Alpha #8 (API 42-485-41073) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged July 16, 1999, last operated by Ver Bec Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 20, 1986, permitted to 1,300 ft.
It was permitted by Thorn Oil Company and has since transferred to Ver Bec Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Thomas Sand.
Its lease has reported 421 barrels of oil and 53 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Thorn Oil Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
