Edinburg Impr. Assoc. GU #3 (API 42-215-32424) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed December 29, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 19, 1997, permitted to 14,150 ft.
It was permitted by Coastal Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including K-1 Sand, L Sand, L Sand, S Sand.
Its 2 leases have reported 45.1K barrels of oil and 2.79M mcf of gas since July 1997, last reporting volume in 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.
Wells nearby
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.
