Nichols a Unit #19H
Karnes County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford-2) field · Producing · Horizontal
Nichols A Unit #19H (API 42-255-35281) is a horizontal well in Karnes County operated by Devon Energy Production CO L.P., completed April 20, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 25, 2017, permitted to 12,660 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Devon Energy Production CO L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yegua, Queen City, Reklaw, Carrizo.
Its lease has reported 3.92M barrels of oil and 9.72M mcf of gas since December 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
