The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 30, 2010, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Erg Resources, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Sandpoint Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Base Of Salt Overhang, Top Of Discorbis, Top Of Het.
Its lease has reported 484K barrels of oil and 20 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
