Flores R. #1 (API 42-215-32486) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed May 9, 1999 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 12, 1997, permitted to 15,980 ft.

It was permitted by Coastal Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 13 formation tops, including Sullivan Sd, Sullivan Sd., Heard Sd, Heard Sd..

Its 4 leases have reported 240K barrels of oil and 11.1M mcf of gas since February 1998, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
