Barrera #3

Shut in

Hidalgo County · McMoran (8960) field · SWR-10-Well · Vertical

Barrera #3 (API 42-215-33760) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed March 16, 2008 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2021.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 20, 2007, permitted to 11,450 ft.

It was permitted by Coronado Energy E&P Company, LLC and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 16.8K barrels of oil and 1.38M mcf of gas since February 2008, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
