Case Study: Antina Ranch

Case Study: Antina Ranch

Introduction

Ashley Watt’s Antina Ranch is located in far west Texas bordering on Ward and Crane Counties. It became more widely known because of its proximity to a giant saltwater geyser first observed in early January of 2022. While not on her ranch, the well later identified as CT-112 showcased the issues being brought to public attention on multiple ranches throughout the area.

The picture below from “Texas Monthly” shows the leakage from the CT-112 well. It became a focus of attention in Texas by highlighting the issue of orphan wells. The G-Forensic team has done a study of the well(s) directly involved with the CT-112 geyser; and the impact of a misrepresented plugged and abandoned well. Our study has been circulated to federal, state and private organizations focused on orphan wells.
