Nelson #1 (API 42-173-33555) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Oxy USA Inc., completed January 10, 2010 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 23, 2009, permitted to 10,255 ft.
It was permitted by Thompson, J. Cleo and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 68.1K barrels of oil and 175K mcf of gas since December 2009, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
