Nathan #1 (API 42-317-32827) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged June 5, 1998, last operated by Prime Operating Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 7, 1983, permitted to 8,700 ft.

It was permitted by Brazos Petroleum CO. and has since transferred to Prime Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Jo Mills, Dean.

Its lease has reported 54.8K barrels of oil and 92.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
