Eklund South #E#1
Caldwell County · Salt Flat field · Vertical
Eklund South #E#1 (API 42-055-31760) is a plugged well in Caldwell County, plugged March 24, 2022, last operated by North American Drilling Corp.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 31, 1980, permitted to 2,800 ft.
It was permitted by National Resources and has since transferred to North American Drilling Corp on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 5.53K barrels of oil and 4.01K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 38 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
