Webb County · Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.) field · Producing · Vertical
Vaquillas Ranch H #96 (API 42-479-35473) is a well in Webb County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed March 1, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1992 and 1997, permitted to 12,250 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Queen City, Wilcox, Lobo Unconformity, Lobo 6.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.25K barrels of oil and 2M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
