Ratliff #59 (API 42-135-34323) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged May 18, 1994, last operated by R3 Operating Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 22, 1983, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Bta Oil Producers and has since transferred to R3 Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 552K barrels of oil and 33.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 38 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
