Irion County · Ketchum Mt. (Clear Fork) field · Shut In · Vertical
Ketchum MT. (Clear Fork) Unit #5408 (API 42-235-31803) is a well in Irion County operated by Apache Corporation, completed April 12, 2018 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2018.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1987, permitted to 6,400 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 2.45M barrels of oil and 1.52M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 98 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
