Hamman Ranch #47
Hidalgo County · Monte Christo (Vksbg HH) field · SWR-10-Well · Vertical
Hamman Ranch #47 (API 42-215-32620) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed August 1, 2005 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1999 and 2005, permitted to 14,800 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 5 formation tops, including Frio, Vksbg Eckart, Vksbg Gg, Vksbg Jj.
Its 4 leases have reported 11.6K barrels of oil and 3.04M mcf of gas since March 1999, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jun 13, 2002. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
