Shaw Merle Oil Unit #1
Van Zandt County · Fruitvale East (Rodessa 2-N) field · Vertical
Shaw Merle Oil Unit #1 (API 42-467-30412) is a well in Van Zandt County operated by Wiley Capital Inc, completed December 1, 1979.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 3, 1978, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Continental Oil Company and has since transferred to Wiley Capital Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 3.55K barrels of oil and 12K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
