The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1981 and 1995, permitted to 9,850 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Ogden Resources Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 991 barrels of oil and 195K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2014. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
