The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2001 and 2002, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Lillis, Michael D. and has since transferred to Cazar Energy Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including King, Canyon, Strawn, Allen.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.08K barrels of oil and 52 mcf of gas since September 2000, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
