The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 26, 1990, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Kimbell Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Seven Rivers, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 264K barrels of oil and 110K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
