The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 30, 1981, permitted to 2,900 ft.
It was permitted by Windsor Producing CO. and has since transferred to Austin Operating LLC. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 36 barrels of oil and 1 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.
