Beaurline A. W. #21
Hidalgo County · McAllen Ranch (Vksbg P-V S Cons) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Beaurline A. W. #21 (API 42-215-32407) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed August 6, 2002 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2010.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1997 and 2002, permitted to 12,440 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 18.2K barrels of oil and 1.29M mcf of gas since August 1997, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
