The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 2004, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Byrd Operating Company and has since transferred to Wilson WM. B. Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 38.7K barrels of oil and 868K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
