Caldwell Gas Unit #8 (API 42-203-32507) is a well in Harrison County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed July 28, 1998 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2012.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 17, 1998, permitted to 10,070 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 Massive Anhydrite (marker), Rodessa, Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.6K barrels of oil and 1.43M mcf of gas since July 1998, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
