Loving County · Wheat field · Vertical
Nexus 23 #13 (API 42-301-01065) is a well in Loving County operated by M2 Squared Operating LLC, completed February 14, 1952.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 28, 2002, permitted to 6,100 ft.
It was permitted by Griffin Petroleum Company and has since transferred to M2 Squared Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cherry Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 51.5K barrels of oil and 53.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
