The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 1984, permitted to 5,654 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 134K barrels of oil and 590K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 49 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
