Wells-Nichols #1 (API 42-197-30294) is a well in Hardeman County operated by Assent Energy Partners LLC, completed May 15, 1995 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 31, 1978, permitted to 9,100 ft.
It was permitted by Enserch Exploration, Inc and has since transferred to Assent Energy Partners LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Noble Lm, Canyon, Palo Pinto, Mississippian.
Its lease has reported 1M barrels of oil and 258K 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.
