Ritchie Farms #1H
LA Salle County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford) field · Horizontal
Ritchie Farms #1H (API 42-283-32305) is a horizontal well in La Salle County operated by EP Energy E&P Company L.P., completed November 9, 2010.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 8, 2010, permitted to 9,350 ft.
It was permitted by El Paso E & P Company, L. P. and has since transferred to EP Energy E&P Company L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Buda.
Its 2 leases have reported 19.6M barrels of oil and 48.8M mcf of gas since August 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 96 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
