Arriaga GU F #2 (API 42-427-32807) is a well in Starr County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed June 21, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1995 and 2005, permitted to 12,940 ft.

It was permitted by El Paso Production Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including L-1, L-2, L-3, L-4.

Its 2 leases have reported 1 barrels of oil and 1.23M mcf of gas since April 1996, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
