The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 6, 1988, permitted to 1,350 ft.
It was permitted by Hodge, C. Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Mojave Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 8.18K barrels of oil and 56 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
