Nail M #14 (API 42-417-36437) is a plugged well in Shackelford County, plugged July 19, 2021, last operated by Van Operating Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 25, 1985, permitted to 1,600 ft.
It was permitted by Jones CO. and has since transferred to Van Operating Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including B/Coal, Flippen, Waldrip.
Its lease has reported 326K barrels of oil and 697 mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
