The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 13, 1977, permitted to 5,200 ft.
It was permitted by Ard Drilling Company Inc. and has since transferred to Walsh Petroleum Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.84K barrels of oil and 266K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2010. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
