Matthew Morris Gas Unit #1 (API 42-203-33023) is a well in Harrison County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed May 13, 2005 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2010.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 13, 2004, permitted to 10,315 ft.
It was permitted by BP America 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 3 leases have reported 2.46K barrels of oil and 159K mcf of gas since March 2005, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
