Nelson A #5H (API 42-123-34688) is a horizontal well in De Witt County operated by Bpx Operating Company, completed May 13, 2020 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 10, 2018, permitted to 14,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bhp Billiton Pet(Txla OP) CO and has since transferred to Bpx Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg, Yegua, Wilcox.
Its lease has reported 2.49M barrels of oil and 7.35M mcf of gas since July 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
