Ritchie Farms #143H (API 42-283-36157) is a horizontal well in La Salle County operated by Verdun Oil EF II LLC, completed January 27, 2018 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 19, 2017, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by EP Energy E&P Company, L.P. and has since transferred to Verdun Oil EF II LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Wilcox, Escondido, Olmos, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 19.6M barrels of oil and 48.8M mcf of gas since December 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 94 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
