Hidalgo County · McAllen So. (Fallen 8400) field · Producing · Directional
Keirn Pearl #7 (API 42-215-32398) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed August 20, 1999 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 5, 1997, permitted to 9,700 ft.
It was permitted by Fina Oil & Chemical Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.35K barrels of oil and 2.45M mcf of gas since June 1999, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
