Wise County · Morris (Consolidated Congl.) field · Vertical
Craft-Water Board Unit 9 #1 (API 42-497-01645) is a well in Wise County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed September 17, 1959.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 13, 1997, permitted to 5,770 ft.
It was permitted by Enserch Exploration, Inc and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 9K barrels of oil and 379K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
