The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2006, permitted to 8,800 ft.
It was permitted by Laredo Energy and has since transferred to Laredo Energy IV L.P. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 16.6K barrels of oil and 2.42K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
