Laubhan Merlin #684-05 (API 42-295-31117) is a well in Lipscomb County operated by Midway Operating Company L.L.C., completed January 21, 1982.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 24, 1981, permitted to 8,100 ft.
It was permitted by Kennedy & Mitchell, Inc. and has since transferred to Midway Operating Company L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.45K barrels of oil and 223K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
