Andrews County · Bedford (Devonian) field · Vertical
Ratliff & Bedford #38 (API 42-003-37351) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged October 13, 2014, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 2014, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Occidental Permian Ltd. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including San Andres, Tubb, Wichita-Albany, Mississippian.
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.
