La Brisa Ranch #1A (API 42-427-33006) is a well in Starr County operated by Belco Operating Corp., completed July 10, 1997.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1997 and 2000, permitted to 6,500 ft.

It was permitted by Belco Energy Corp. and has since transferred to Belco Operating Corp. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Vicksburg.

Its 5 leases have reported 16.8K barrels of oil and 1.12M mcf of gas since July 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 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.
