Nelson A. E. #8 (API 42-409-32666) is a plugged well in San Patricio County, plugged May 23, 2022, last operated by Whiting Petroleum Corporation.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 2001 and 2011, permitted to 7,925 ft.
It was permitted by Magnum Producing, LP and has since transferred to Whiting Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 6 leases have reported 48.3K barrels of oil and 466K mcf of gas since April 2001, last reporting in May 2023. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
