Nichols #202
Archer County · Archer County Regular field · Shut IN · Vertical
Nichols #202 (API 42-009-43040) is a well in Archer County operated by Pecos Country Operating Inc., completed November 4, 2016 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 16, 2016, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by JL&M Energy, LLC and has since transferred to Pecos Country Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Cisco, Thomas Sand, Gunsight, Bryson.
Its lease has reported 21K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
