Merchant Estate -14- #7 (API 42-383-31210) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged August 8, 2019, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 1, 1978, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Oil & Minerals Corp. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 88.4K barrels of oil and 1.39M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
