Nichols A #1 (API 42-317-34121) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged July 2, 2020, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1997 and 2018, permitted to 11,700 ft.
It was permitted by Endeavor Energy Resources L.P. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Spraberry, Lwr. Sprby, Upr. Sprby, Dean.
Its 2 leases have reported 131K barrels of oil and 205K mcf of gas since November 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
