Ricker Rupert P. -KO- #15 (API 42-383-34880) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged July 8, 2024, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 13, 1997, permitted to 8,400 ft.

It was permitted by Stephens, Autry C. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Upr. Sprby, Lwr. Sprby, Dean.

Its lease has reported 546K barrels of oil and 5.04M mcf of gas since November 1995, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 38 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.
