Andrews County · Bedford (Devonian) field · Water Supply · Vertical
Ratliff & Bedford #17 (API 42-003-05115) is a well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 18, 2016 and listed as water supply on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1988, permitted to 9,130 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 5.79M barrels of oil and 6.44M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 48 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
