The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 23, 2014, permitted to 8,966 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 268K barrels of oil and 294K mcf of gas since July 2014, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
