The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1989, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Total Minatome Corporation and has since transferred to Ramtex Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 26.4K barrels of oil and 662K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
