Lubbock County · Lee Harrison field · Vertical
Sides B. H. #1 (API 42-303-30450) is a well in Lubbock County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed January 3, 1979.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 13, 1978, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 917K barrels of oil and 732 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 61 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 85.2K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through March 2026.
