The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 21, 1982, permitted to 2,200 ft.
It was permitted by Bastrop Energy Group and has since transferred to E & W Oil Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 8.13K barrels of oil and 5.16K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
