The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 30, 1990, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 107K barrels of oil and 1.04M 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.
