Nail M #30 (API 42-417-36854) is a plugged well in Shackelford County, plugged December 17, 1998, last operated by Van Operating Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 20, 1986, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by Jones CO. and has since transferred to Van Operating Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including B/Tannehill Ls, T/Saddle Creek, B/Coal, T/Flippen Sand.
Its lease has reported 326K barrels of oil and 697 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2022. The lease carries 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
