Coates E Gas Unit #6
Hidalgo County · Jeffress NE. (T Lo.-FB A) field · SWR-10-Well · Vertical
Coates E Gas Unit #6 (API 42-215-32667) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed September 28, 1999 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 30, 1999, permitted to 14,814 ft.
It was permitted by Coastal Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Sullivan Sd, P Sd, S Sd, Lower T Sd.
Its 2 leases have reported 18.1K barrels of oil and 1.69M mcf of gas since September 1999, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
