Nelson Ben ET AL #1A (API 42-071-32048) is a plugged well in Chambers County, plugged May 14, 2021, last operated by Diamond S Masada LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 13, 1996, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Caskids Operating Company and has since transferred to Diamond S Masada LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Expanded Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 84.3K barrels of oil and 54.1K mcf of gas since March 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
