Lubbock County · Lee Harrison field · Vertical
Mcwhirter #2 (API 42-303-30389) is a well in Lubbock County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed September 8, 1977.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 18, 1977, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Kewanee Oil Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 859K barrels of oil and 377 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 59 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
