Pennzoil Fee #1V
Hidalgo County · Jeffress E. (Vicksburg O\p) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Pennzoil Fee #1V (API 42-215-31322) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed February 7, 1997 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2010.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1996, permitted to 12,970 ft.
It was permitted by Coastal Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 75.3K barrels of oil and 1.75M mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
