Jackson County · West Ranch (41-a & 98-a Cons.) field · Shut In · Vertical
West Ranch (41-A/98-A Cons) Unit #311 (API 42-239-02659) is a well in Jackson County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed September 28, 2009 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 1, 1983, permitted to 6,501 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 11.2M barrels of oil and 2.76M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 401 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
