Irion County · Ketchum Mt. (Clear Fork) field · Shut In · Vertical
Ketchum MT. (Clear Fork) Unit #4915 (API 42-235-32794) is a well in Irion County operated by Apache Corporation, completed June 25, 1987 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 16, 1987, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Yates, Queen, Grayburg, San Andres.
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.
