Nelson A. E. #4 (API 42-409-31332) is a plugged well in San Patricio County, plugged June 2, 2022, last operated by Abercrombie J.S. Min. CO. Inc..
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 1979 and 2011, permitted to 9,600 ft.
It was permitted by Magnum Producing, LP and has since transferred to Abercrombie J.S. Min. CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Het Zone, Frio, Nelson, Nelson Sand.
Its 3 leases have reported 31.2K barrels of oil and 177K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2023. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
