Davis S. M. #38 (API 42-059-35329) is a well in Callahan County operated by Merkaz Drilling LLC, completed July 27, 2020 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 8, 1985, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Tidwell Brothers and has since transferred to Merkaz Drilling LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Unidentified-County Regular - Di, Cook Sand - Disposal, Cook Sand.
Its lease has reported 27.2K barrels of oil and 14 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 67 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 1.03K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through February 2026.
