Hamman Heirs #1 (API 42-215-33019) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed December 20, 2002 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 30, 2002, permitted to 18,882 ft.
It was permitted by El Paso Production Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including 13800 Sd, 16900 Sd, 16900sd.
Its 2 leases have reported 25K barrels of oil and 2.7M mcf of gas since December 2002, last reporting volume in December 2023. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
