The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1990, permitted to 4,700 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 89.5M barrels of oil and 52.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 1,292 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
