West Ranch -A- #507 (API 42-239-32015) is a plugged well in Jackson County, plugged December 12, 2012, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.

The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 2003, permitted to 6,500 ft.

It was permitted by Vintage Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Marginulina 5000, Randle, Toney, Glasscock.

Its 3 leases have reported 8.02M barrels of oil and 8.37M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 355 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
