West Ranch -A- #292 (API 42-239-02640) is a plugged well in Jackson County, plugged December 14, 2015, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.

The RRC has issued 7 drilling permits between 1979 and 1988, permitted to 6,400 ft.

It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Catahoula, Greta, Glasscock, Frio.

Its lease has reported 6M barrels of oil and 5.64M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 287 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.
