Sinor Ranch A #07 (API 42-297-35892) is a well in Live Oak County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed October 7, 2017.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 30, 2017, permitted to 8,600 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 10 formation tops, including Hockley - Disposal, Jackson, Cook Mountain, Queen City.

Its 2 leases have reported 7.51M barrels of oil and 10.1M mcf of gas since June 2013, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 36 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
