Walters Ralph J. #1
Houston County · Laura la Velle S. (1600) field · Producing · Vertical
Walters Ralph J. #1 (API 42-225-30727) is a well in Houston County operated by HD Operating CO LLC, completed November 12, 1989 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 14, 1987, permitted to 1,720 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to HD Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Queen City, Carrizo.
Its lease has reported 158K barrels of oil and 27 mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in May 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
