Holland W.H. Gas Unit #3
Hidalgo County · Guadalupe (Vicksburg J-1) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Holland W.H. Gas Unit #3 (API 42-215-32941) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed December 13, 2006 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2008.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 2001 and 2006, permitted to 11,170 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 89.1K barrels of oil and 5.49M mcf of gas since December 2001, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
