The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 11, 1992, permitted to 2,900 ft.
It was permitted by Scully And Smith Oil Corporation and has since transferred to E-P Oil CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 313 barrels of oil and 5 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
