The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 3, 1981, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Norwood, Arvin Drilling CO. and has since transferred to QP Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 33.6K barrels of oil and 63 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
