Mcfaddin Ranch #14ST (API 42-245-32095) is a well in Jefferson County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed October 4, 1994.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1994 and 2019, permitted to 8,668 ft.
It was permitted by Kingwood Exploration LLC and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Big Hill Salt Dome - Disposal, Caprock, Fannett Salt Dome - Disposal.
Its 3 leases have reported 444K barrels of oil and 952K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
