Brann Regina #8 (API 42-215-32759) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed December 9, 2003 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 12, 2000, permitted to 12,100 ft.

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

Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Vicksburg, Vxbg K, Vxbg O, Vxbg S.

Its 4 leases have reported 10.6K barrels of oil and 1.82M mcf of gas since May 2000, 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.
