Merchant State #2 (API 42-371-32339) is a well in Pecos County operated by Olsen Energy Inc., completed April 26, 1978.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 1978, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Lawrence, C. F. & Assoc. Inc. and has since transferred to Olsen Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Wichita-Albany.
Its 3 leases have reported 84.4K barrels of oil and 774K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
