Brann Regina #9 (API 42-215-32772) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed February 18, 2004 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 23, 2000, permitted to 9,200 ft.

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

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Vickburg L, Vicknurg L, Vicksburg.

Its 3 leases have reported 4.67K barrels of oil and 357K mcf of gas since June 2000, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 3 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.
