East Keystone(San A Holt Unit) #2 (API 42-495-32527) is a well in Winkler County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed June 21, 2002.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 12, 1996, permitted to 5,500 ft.

It was permitted by Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Queen, Colby, San Andres, Holt.

Its 4 leases have reported 1.65M barrels of oil and 2.25M mcf of gas since April 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 162 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

It holds an active disposal or injection permit.

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