Ketchum Mountain East Unit #1516 (API 42-235-33597) is a well in Irion County operated by Apache Corporation, completed March 26, 1997.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 21, 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, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.73M barrels of oil and 4.34M mcf of gas since March 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 234 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
