Ratliff & Bedford #36 (API 42-003-37353) is a well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed June 7, 1994.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 20, 1993, permitted to 11,400 ft.

It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Tubb, Mississippian, Woodford, Devonian.

Its lease has reported 385K barrels of oil and 318K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
