West Ranch -A- #515 (API 42-239-32224) is a plugged well in Jackson County, plugged February 1, 2017, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.

The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1985 and 1995, permitted to 6,450 ft.

It was permitted by Meridian Oil Production Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Marge A, Greta, Glasscock, Ward.

Its 3 leases have reported 8M barrels of oil and 8.35M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 353 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.
