West Ranch -A- #363
Jackson County · West Ranch (41-A) field · Vertical
West Ranch -A- #363 (API 42-239-02710) is a former disposal or injection well in Jackson County, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company; its UIC permit is no longer active.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2005, permitted to 5,850 ft.
It was permitted by Vintage Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Catahoula, Frio, Gretta.
Its 2 leases have reported 6M barrels of oil and 5.65M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 288 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
