The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 22, 2012, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Stanford Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Vin Fisher Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 279K barrels of oil since September 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
