The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1993, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Columbia Gas Development Corp. and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 109K barrels of oil and 757K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
