Sinor Wilcox Unit #01 (API 42-297-35165) is a well in Live Oak County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed January 25, 2023 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued June 20, 2012, permitted to 8,413 ft.
It was permitted by Pioneer Natural Res. USA, Inc. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Carrizo, Wilcox, Midway.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.51M barrels of oil and 10.1M mcf of gas since June 2013, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 36 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
