The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2012 and 2013, permitted to 6,175 ft.

It was permitted by Burlington Res O & G CO-Midland and has since transferred to Blackbeard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 14 formation tops, including Judkins, Sand Hills (Judkins), McKnight, Sand Hills (Mcknight).

Its 3 leases have reported 6.23M barrels of oil and 42.4M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 334 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
