Hidalgo County · McAllen (Biedenharn Upper) field · Vertical
Mcallen Fieldwide Unit #24 (API 42-215-80244) is a plugged well in Hidalgo County, plugged September 10, 2024, last operated by Merit Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 14, 1992, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Fina Oil & Chemical Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 51.3K barrels of oil and 3.62M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2024. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
