The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 15, 1985, permitted to 4,999 ft.
It was permitted by Johnson, F. T., JR. and has since transferred to Johnson & Ernst Operating CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Bend.
Its lease has reported 4.74K barrels of oil and 180K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2011. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
