Jackson County · West Ranch (Greta) field · Observation · Vertical
West Ranch -A- #401 (API 42-239-02748) is a well in Jackson County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed February 6, 2024 and listed as observation on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 21, 1992, permitted to 6,230 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 8 formation tops, including Frio, Catahoula, Gretta, Greta.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.44M barrels of oil and 6.55M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 338 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
