Merritt A #2 (API 42-253-35138) is a well in Jones County operated by Rmb Operating LLC, completed September 4, 2010 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 2, 2010, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by Adkins, R. L. Corp. and has since transferred to Rmb Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Strawn, Ellenburger.
Its lease has reported 29.9K barrels of oil and 58.3K mcf of gas since June 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
