The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1983, permitted to 12,320 ft.
It was permitted by Cities Service Oil & Gas Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Pennsylvanian.
Its lease has reported 170K barrels of oil and 145K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
