The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 4, 1981, permitted to 8,820 ft.
It was permitted by Williams, Clayton W., JR. and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 109K barrels of oil and 1.69M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
