Ritchie Farms L Unit #77H (API 42-127-37646) is a horizontal well in Dimmit County operated by Verdun Oil EF II LLC, completed April 30, 2018 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 19, 2017, permitted to 8,000 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, San Miguel, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 86.1K barrels of oil and 136K mcf of gas since April 2018, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
