Ratliff & Bedford #43
Andrews County · Bedford (Fusselman) field · Horizontal · Directional
Ratliff & Bedford #43 (API 42-003-37679) is a horizontal well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 4, 2000.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1995 and 2016, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Occidental Permian Ltd. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 15 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen.
Its 3 leases have reported 949K barrels of oil and 915K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
