WELL · 42-199-33230 · DISTRICT 3
Merchant #9
Hardin County · Sour Lake field · Producing · Vertical
Merchant #9 (API 42-199-33230) is a well in Hardin County operated by Radco Operations L.P., completed March 1, 2010 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 17, 2009, permitted to 3,100 ft.
It was permitted by Clover Production Company and has since transferred to Radco Operations L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 58.2K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
