Wise County · Cap Yates (Consolidated Congl.) field · Vertical
Craft Water Board Unit 13 #9 (API 42-497-33180) is a plugged well in Wise County, plugged January 29, 2013, last operated by Merit Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 14, 1986, permitted to 5,900 ft.
It was permitted by EP Operating Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Bryson, Brysory, Caddo, Atoka.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.75K barrels of oil and 515K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
