Karnes County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford-2) field · Producing · Horizontal
Nichols A Unit #2H (API 42-255-35400) is a horizontal well in Karnes County operated by Devon Energy Production CO L.P., completed August 15, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 24, 2017, permitted to 12,324 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 2 leases have reported 4.34M barrels of oil and 10.8M mcf of gas since December 2012, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Aug 12, 2020. Gamma ray. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
