Barrera #1SW

Starr County · La Reforma N. (Vxbg. X) field · Producing · Directional

Barrera #1SW (API 42-427-33260) is a well in Starr County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed May 17, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 2000 and 2008, permitted to 9,272 ft.

It was permitted by Coronado Energy E&P Company, LLC and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Vicksburg.

Its 2 leases have reported 15.8K barrels of oil and 823K mcf of gas since October 2000, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
