Boston Texas Land & Trust #22 (API 42-215-32312) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed August 11, 1997 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2016.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 21, 1996, permitted to 14,286 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Vicksburg, Vskbg.
Its 2 leases have reported 85.3K barrels of oil and 3.63M mcf of gas since July 1997, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
