The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1992 and 1997, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Wcs Oil And Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Wcs Oil & Gas Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Buda, Georgetown.
Its 2 leases have reported 57K barrels of oil and 154K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
