The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 8, 2005, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Couch, Gilbert and has since transferred to 4 J S Production on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 11.9K barrels of oil and 24.5K mcf of gas since February 2006, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
