James Henry #1 (API 42-475-33748) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged December 17, 2021, last operated by Finley Resources Inc..

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1986 and 1999, permitted to 4,800 ft.

It was permitted by Eado Production, Inc. and has since transferred to Finley Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.

Its 2 leases have reported 48.4K barrels of oil and 60 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
