West Ranch -A- #435 (API 42-239-02782) is a plugged well in Jackson County, plugged July 17, 1997, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1987, permitted to 5,750 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 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.
