Jones County · Flat Top JC (Strawn Upper) field · Vertical
Howard #1 (API 42-253-35606) is a well in Jones County operated by Nbx Energy LLC, completed January 3, 2021.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 12, 2020, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Lkktx 2018, LLC and has since transferred to Nbx Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Tannehill, Strawn, Bluff Creek Sand - Disposal.
Its 2 leases have reported 108K barrels of oil and 77.8K mcf of gas since January 2021, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 61 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
