Caldwell Gas Unit #6 (API 42-203-32457) is a well in Harrison County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed November 20, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1995 and 1997, permitted to 10,108 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including James Lime, Pettit, Travis Peak, Cotton Valley.
Its 2 leases have reported 35.8K barrels of oil and 2.75M mcf of gas since April 1998, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
