Dimmit County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1) field · Producing · Horizontal
Ritchie Farms #72H (API 42-127-36136) is a horizontal well in Dimmit County operated by Verdun Oil EF II LLC, completed June 11, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 3, 2014, permitted to 7,821 ft.
It was permitted by EP Energy E&P Company, L.P. and has since transferred to Verdun Oil EF II LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Escondido, Olmos, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 2 leases have reported 19.9M barrels of oil and 49.6M mcf of gas since December 2010, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 95 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Dec 5, 2014. Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
