Nicholson #11 (API 42-065-31489) is a well in Carson County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed August 28, 1984 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 26, 1983, permitted to 3,400 ft.
It was permitted by WY-Vel Corp and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Red Bed Anhydrites, Granite Wash.
Its lease has reported 37.4K barrels of oil and 235K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
