The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1987 and 1999, permitted to 12,192 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its 4 leases have reported 229K barrels of oil and 190K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
