Lavaca County · Speaks NW. (Wilcox 12 800) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Rodgers GU 1 #3 (API 42-285-33457) is a well in Lavaca County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed December 1, 2014 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2008 and 2014, permitted to 15,892 ft.
It was permitted by Cantera Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Middle Magnolia, Deep Stray, Ewers, Meine.
Its 2 leases have reported 845 barrels of oil and 1.37M mcf of gas since April 2008, last reporting volume in September 2023. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
