Winkler County · Keystone (Colby) field · Shut In · Vertical
Baird W. E. #8 (API 42-495-03674) is a well in Winkler County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed August 16, 1982 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2000.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 21, 1982, permitted to 5,380 ft.
It was permitted by Bass Enterprises Production CO. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 14K barrels of oil and 32.4K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
