The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 30, 1987, permitted to 9,190 ft.
It was permitted by Geo Quest Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Morningstar Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 222K barrels of oil and 368K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
