Nouveau #1 (API 42-317-36855) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged September 24, 2026, last operated by Hibernia Resources IV LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 17, 2011, permitted to 12,990 ft.
It was permitted by W&T Offshore, Inc. and has since transferred to Hibernia Resources IV LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 47K barrels of oil and 62.1K mcf of gas since March 2012, last reporting volume in August 2025. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jan 26, 2015. Resistivity. 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.
