Simmons #1176A
Ochiltree County · Ricks (Morrow Upper) field · Vertical
Simmons #1176A (API 42-357-30969) is a well in Ochiltree County operated by Rio Petroleum Inc., completed January 25, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 20, 1979, permitted to 9,100 ft.
It was permitted by Ricks Exploration CO. and has since transferred to Rio Petroleum Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 218K barrels of oil and 129K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
