East Keystone(San A Holt Unit) #318 (API 42-495-30398) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged November 19, 2007, last operated by Merit Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 27, 1995, permitted to 5,600 ft.
It was permitted by Vista Resources, Inc. (A) and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Holt.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.79M barrels of oil and 2.95M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 111 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
