Jackson County · West Ranch (Greta) field · Shut In · Vertical
West Ranch -A- #206 (API 42-239-02561) is a well in Jackson County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed June 7, 1986 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 7, 1983, permitted to 5,795 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 6.03M barrels of oil and 5.63M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 287 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
