Ratliff & Bedford #34 (API 42-003-31670) is a well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed October 24, 2023 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 3, 1978, permitted to 9,600 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Oil Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Seven Rivers, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 5.79M barrels of oil and 6.44M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 48 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 287K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through February 2026.
