Richards Ranch #9 (API 42-237-39166) is a well in Jack County operated by Newark E&P Operating LLC, completed March 11, 2009.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 16, 2007, permitted to 7,000 ft.

It was permitted by Eog Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Newark E&P Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Strawn, Atoka, Caddo, Bend.

Its 2 leases have reported 302K barrels of oil and 8.95M mcf of gas since December 2007, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 30 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
