The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1996, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Austin Chalk CO. and has since transferred to Champlin Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 300K barrels of oil and 5.07M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
