The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 10, 1981, permitted to 2,700 ft.
It was permitted by Sledge Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to K3 Productions LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 16.7K barrels of oil and 169K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
