Reagan County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Merchant Unit #157 (API 42-383-10998) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged March 14, 2001, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 21, 1990, permitted to 8,450 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.36M barrels of oil and 36.8M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 200 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
