The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 15, 1977, permitted to 2,600 ft.
It was permitted by J & J Oil Venture and has since transferred to Petrosaurus Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.12K barrels of oil and 992 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
