Nelius J. #1 (API 42-055-34587) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Meb LLC, completed December 2, 1991 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 29, 1991, permitted to 2,900 ft.
It was permitted by Avian Tech International, Inc. and has since transferred to Meb LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 24.1K barrels of oil and 6.53K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
