The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 4, 1982, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Son Petroleum and has since transferred to Bob-Kat Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Buda.
Its lease has reported 21 barrels of oil and 30 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2002. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
