Los Ninos #1 (API 42-451-31734) is a plugged well in Tom Green County, plugged August 24, 1990, last operated by Elco Oil & Gas Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 18, 1986, permitted to 2,000 ft.

It was permitted by Demco Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Elco Oil & Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including San Andres, Clear Fork.

Its lease has reported 29K barrels of oil and 213 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
