Liberty County · Hull field · Producing · Vertical
Merchant Estate A #1 (API 42-291-04866) is a well in Liberty County operated by Well-CO Solutions LLC, completed July 26, 1964 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 23, 1981, permitted to 6,518 ft.
It was permitted by Trilateral Eagle Petr.CO.(Tepco) and has since transferred to Well-CO Solutions LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 2 leases have reported 29.3K barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
