Ratliff Sam #5
Glasscock County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · NO Production · Vertical
Ratliff Sam #5 (API 42-173-31824) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc., completed September 28, 1985 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 18, 1985, permitted to 8,450 ft.
It was permitted by Cox, John L. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Cretaceous, Spraberry, Dean.
Its lease has reported 135K barrels of oil and 205K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2024. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
