USA #11 (API 42-427-33189) is a well in Starr County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed June 22, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended 3 times), issued September 10, 1999, permitted to 11,480 ft.

It was permitted by Coastal Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including L10, L12, L14, L15.

Its 3 leases have reported 12 barrels of oil and 2.79M mcf of gas since March 2001, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 3 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.
