Yoakum County · Ownby (Clear Fork Upper) field · Producing · Vertical
Central Ownby Unit #8 (API 42-501-32561) is a well in Yoakum County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed August 8, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 21, 1984, permitted to 6,992 ft.
It was permitted by Tenneco Oil CO. and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Triassic (Red Beds), Rustler, Yates, San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.3M barrels of oil and 2.68M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 162 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
