The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1988 and 2008, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Whitehead Prod. CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Sundown Energy LP on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 14.7K barrels of oil and 117K mcf of gas since May 2007, last reporting in May 2022. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
