The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 17, 2014, permitted to 4,654 ft.
It was permitted by Forge Energy, LLC and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 420K barrels of oil and 250K mcf of gas since January 2014, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
