Merrion Oil & Gas
"THAT's the deal. TAKE it or LEAVE it!" demanded J. Greg Merrion in as diplomatic a fashion as he could
muster. He was trying to peddle a San Juan Basin Gallup-Dakota prospect on family-owned minerals in the
late 1950's. Well... they left it. But what J. Greg lacked in diplomacy, he more than made up for in
moxie. So, after nine years as a petroleum engineer with the British American Oil Producing Company, he
set out on his own in 1960. Risking it all, he quit his job, moved his young family from Midland, TX to
Farmington, NM, then begged, borrowed, and scraped together enough money to drill the Edna 1 (a Gallup
oil well named after his mother). The successful well beat back the creditors, and was the "big bang" that
began the evolution from J. Greg's dream into the company that would become Merrion Oil & Gas.
