The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 9, 1992, permitted to 1,900 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Energy Corporation(Nevada) and has since transferred to Petrosaurus Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 20.8K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
