East Keystone(San A Holt Unit) #1 (API 42-495-32573) is a well in Winkler County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed November 1, 1997.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1996 and 1997, permitted to 5,500 ft.

It was permitted by Parker & Parsley Producing L.P. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including San Andres, Holt.

Its 3 leases have reported 1.6M barrels of oil and 2M mcf of gas since September 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 158 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.
