West Ranch -A- #449 (API 42-239-02795) is a plugged well in Jackson County, plugged July 14, 2017, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 1987 and 1991, permitted to 6,487 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 9 formation tops, including Catahoula, Frio, Greta, Gretta.
Its 5 leases have reported 8.67M barrels of oil and 9.75M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 421 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
