Vest Ranch #20 (API 42-495-32726) is a well in Winkler County operated by Stronghold Energy II Oper LLC, completed December 19, 1998.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 28, 1998, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Pennzoil Exploration & Prod. CO. and has since transferred to Stronghold Energy II Oper LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pennsylvanian, Strawn, Atoka.
Its 2 leases have reported 881K barrels of oil and 5.08M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 26 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
