Hardeman County · Apex (Mississippian) field · Producing · Directional
Wells-Nichols #4 (API 42-197-31711) is a well in Hardeman County operated by Assent Energy Partners LLC, completed November 25, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued September 12, 2014, permitted to 9,100 ft.
It was permitted by Eagle Hydrocarbons (Texas) Inc. and has since transferred to Assent Energy Partners LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Permian (undifferentiated), Cisco, Canyon.
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.
