The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 1980, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Lpg Energy Partnership and has since transferred to North South Oil LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 449 barrels of oil and 4 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
