The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 3, 1984, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Burnett Corp. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 8.28K barrels of oil and 140K 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.
