Hidalgo County · Monte Christo (Vksbg KK) field · Producing · Vertical
Hamman Ranch #36 (API 42-215-32512) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed July 2, 2005 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1998 and 2005, permitted to 13,300 ft.
It was permitted by El Paso Production Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Gg Sand, Hh Sand, Jj Sand, Kk Sand.
Its 4 leases have reported 13.2K barrels of oil and 5.23M mcf of gas since May 1998, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
