The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 22, 1979, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Sea Sand Oil Company and has since transferred to Cardwell Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 31.4K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
