The Permian Basin remains the center of gravity for U.S. oil and gas. For Nelson & Clark, Inc., that gravity now includes new conventional drilling in Lea County, New Mexico, alongside an established Permian operator.
Bob Nelson’s broad knowledge of both upstream and downstream oil and gas development gives him a unique position in the industry and a broad understanding across the value chain. That perspective shapes how Nelson & Clark approaches the Permian Basin, where conventional programs sit inside the country’s most active oil and gas region.
The framing is simple. Nelson & Clark is advancing conventional drilling programs that let partners participate in Permian development next to experienced operators — without turning a public note into a prospectus. The work is a new drill to about 6,000 feet. The primary target is the Blinebry, a producing formation in the Permian Basin in Lea County, New Mexico, with nearby control wells in that formation around 5,300 to 5,500 feet. Glorieta and Queen sit as prospective secondary objectives in the same wellbore — stacked-pay potential that keeps the geologic story honest without promising outcomes.
Operator context matters. SCO Permian, the Permian entity of Stone Creek Operating, supplies the operating backbone for this conventional chapter. Nelson & Clark’s role is the non-operating partner’s role: bring capital discipline, ask the right questions, and stay specific about formations and depths. That value-chain view is how Bob Nelson and Nelson & Clark stay oriented in a conventional Permian chapter in Lea County — formations, depths, and operator context kept clear.
Why the Permian, and why conventional? The basin is widely described as the largest oil and gas development theater in the United States. Headlines often chase horizontal shale campaigns. Conventional targets still reward careful mapping of known formations and patient wellbore design. A single well planned around the Blinebry in Lea County, New Mexico, with Glorieta and Queen as prospective secondary zones, is a stacked story in one hole — useful for anyone learning how domestic energy projects are built layer by layer.
Entrepreneurship in oil and gas is mostly decision hygiene. Which basin. Which county. Which operator. Which primary formation. Which secondary objectives belong in the same plan. Nelson & Clark’s Permian work answers those questions out loud: Permian Basin; Lea County, New Mexico; SCO Permian; Blinebry first; Glorieta and Queen prospective behind it; new drill near 6,000 feet. No drama. Just the sequence a working partner actually watches.
Public educational posts are not offering documents. This draft names geology and process so searchers looking for Bob Nelson and oil and gas find industry substance — not hype and not guarantees. Returns, tax results, working-interest percentages, and unit prices stay out of this copy on purpose. Those belong in private materials for verified accredited investors under Regulation D Rule 506(c), not on a public blog.
What comes next for readers is more of the same substance: how a non-operating partner follows a conventional program month to month, why stacked-pay objectives matter in planning, and how Bob Nelson’s upstream-to-downstream perspective shows up in Nelson & Clark’s Permian work. For now, the open line is enough: Nelson & Clark is drilling new conventional developments in the Permian Basin in Lea County, New Mexico, led by the Blinebry, with Glorieta and Queen as prospective secondary targets in the same wellbore, alongside SCO Permian.
That is the story — basin, county, rock, operator, depth — grounded in how the value chain actually works.
