The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 4, 1994, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Apb Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Fort Apache Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 23K barrels of oil and 234K mcf of gas since May 1994, last reporting in June 2015. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
