Boren Gas Unit #5
Hidalgo County · Jeffress NE. (Vicksburg U) field · Shut In-Multi-Compl · Vertical
Boren Gas Unit #5 (API 42-215-32364) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed January 23, 1997 and listed as shut in-multi-compl on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 22, 1996, permitted to 13,575 ft.
It was permitted by Coastal Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Sullivan Sd., K-1 Sd., O-Sd., U-Sd..
Its 2 leases have reported 2.69K barrels of oil and 1.41M mcf of gas since January 1997, last reporting volume in November 2024. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
