Cunningham Mary J. #5U (API 42-199-30806) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged April 10, 2001, last operated by Merit Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 16, 1986, permitted to 7,800 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO.-Silsbee and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 105K barrels of oil and 198K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 2016. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
