Britton Gas Unit #5 (API 42-203-32074) is a well in Harrison County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed June 23, 1992 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2010.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 2, 1992, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Massive Anhydrite (marker), Rodessa, Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 2 leases have reported 15.8K barrels of oil and 1.39M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
