The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1978 and 2013, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.91M barrels of oil and 2.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 83 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
