Atascosa County · Somerset field · Vertical
Nichols L. #5 (API 42-013-31136) is a plugged well in Atascosa County, plugged June 4, 2007, last operated by Great Plains Resources Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 19, 1980, permitted to 1,850 ft.
It was permitted by Schimmel, V.G. and has since transferred to Great Plains Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 156 barrels of oil and 10 mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
