Merchant A. A #1
Liberty County · Hull field · Shut IN · Vertical
Merchant A. A #1 (API 42-291-32119) is a well in Liberty County operated by Texana Operating Company, completed August 30, 1991 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued December 18, 1990, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Quisto Energy Corp. and has since transferred to Texana Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Dy (Yegua), Dy(Yegua), Cm-1.
Its lease has reported 225K barrels of oil and 62.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
