Forest Hill /Harris SD/ Unit #8 (API 42-499-01299) is a well in Wood County operated by Gaither Petroleum Corporation, completed February 9, 1997.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 5, 1998, permitted to 4,700 ft.
It was permitted by Exzena Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Gaither Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 61K barrels of oil and 58 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 124 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
