Forman #8H
Wise County · Newark East (Barnett Shale) field · Horizontal
Forman #8H (API 42-497-35876) is a horizontal well in Wise County operated by Burlington Resources O & G CO LP, completed October 18, 2005.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 14, 2005, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Burlington Resources O & G CO LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including T/Pregnant Shale, Barnett, Marble Falls, T/Marble Falls Lime.
Its 2 leases have reported 65.4K barrels of oil and 3.05M mcf of gas since October 2005, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
