The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 27, 1996, permitted to 1,999 ft.
It was permitted by Chardonnay Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to K & W Vanpelt Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 49.6K barrels of oil and 5 mcf of gas since April 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
