Harrison County · Woodlawn (Cotton Valley) field · Producing · Vertical
Lewis Gas Unit -B- #6 (API 42-203-32497) is a well in Harrison County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed May 8, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 27, 1998, permitted to 10,040 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Mass. Anhyd., Massive Anhydrite (marker), Rodessa, Pettit.
Its 2 leases have reported 11.5K barrels of oil and 720K mcf of gas since May 1998, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
