The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 9, 1983, permitted to 4,350 ft.
It was permitted by Phillips Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Elliott Oil Company L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 617K barrels of oil and 750K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
