West Ranch State O & G Unit #1 #5
Jackson County · West Ranch (Noble) field · Observation · Vertical
West Ranch State O & G Unit #1 #5 (API 42-239-03861) is a well in Jackson County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed August 1, 2017 and listed as observation on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1978 and 1995, permitted to 7,150 ft.
It was permitted by Meridian Oil Production Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Catahoula, Frio, Gretta - Disposal.
Its 4 leases have reported 5.98K barrels of oil and 101K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
