The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 5, 1998, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Caddo Operating Inc. and has since transferred to Otex LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 1.79K barrels of oil and 45.4K mcf of gas since March 1998, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
