Nixon & Dillard -E- #1
Frio County · Fair Ray field · Vertical
Nixon & Dillard -E- #1 (API 42-163-32227) is a plugged well in Frio County, plugged August 7, 2006, last operated by Wooldridge Oil & Gas.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 4, 1983, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Fair Energy and has since transferred to Wooldridge Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.41K barrels of oil and 15 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.
Operator of record
Permitted by Fair Energy; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
