Schiffers Ranch #1 (API 42-493-31910) is a well in Wilson County operated by Loma Vista Farms, completed May 23, 1986.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1986 and 1990, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Watco Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Loma Vista Farms on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Buda.
Its 2 leases have reported 121K barrels of oil and 16.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
