Young County · James field · Vertical
Section 606 A #11 (API 42-503-40533) is a well in Young County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed July 11, 1993.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 15, 1993, permitted to 4,200 ft.
It was permitted by Parker & Parsley Development CO. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 865K barrels of oil and 245K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 131K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through November 2025.
