The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 1997, permitted to 10,755 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, False Buda.
Its lease has reported 243K barrels of oil and 446K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
