Dimmit County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1) field · Horizontal
Ritchie Farms L Unit #81H (API 42-127-37648) is a horizontal well in Dimmit County operated by Verdun Oil EF II LLC, completed May 4, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 19, 2017, permitted to 8,199 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 2 leases have reported 86.1K barrels of oil and 695K mcf of gas since April 2018, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
