Coates F Gas Unit #7
Hidalgo County · Jeffress NE. (Vicksburg Lo.) field · SWR-10-Well · Vertical
Coates F Gas Unit #7 (API 42-215-32983) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed July 16, 2002 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended 3 times), issued April 22, 2002, permitted to 13,913 ft.
It was permitted by El Paso Production Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 8.01K barrels of oil and 1.69M mcf of gas since June 2002, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
