Chambers County · Lost Lake (Miocene) field · Vertical
Federal #N 1 (API 42-071-31852) is a well in Chambers County operated by Nei Production Inc., completed April 25, 1990.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1987 and 1990, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Plains Resources Inc. and has since transferred to Nei Production Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Discorbis, Het Lime, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 73.3K barrels of oil and 26.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
