The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 7, 1998, permitted to 3,900 ft.
It was permitted by Aurora Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to S & H Resources on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 20.9K barrels of oil and 87.5K mcf of gas since April 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
