Ketchum Mountain East Unit #305 (API 42-235-33571) is a plugged well in Irion County, plugged May 27, 2022, last operated by Apache Corporation.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 18, 1996, permitted to 4,700 ft.

It was permitted by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres, Clear Fork, Glorieta.

Its 2 leases have reported 5.69M barrels of oil and 4.25M mcf of gas since October 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 236 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
