King J. P. #8 (API 42-487-83481) is a plugged well in Wilbarger County, plugged August 18, 1970, last operated by Wills Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 6, 1991, permitted to 1,999 ft.
It was permitted by Kingdom Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Wills Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Upper Dyson.
Its lease has reported 60.1K barrels of oil and 57 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.
