The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 23, 1981, permitted to 8,000 ft.

It was permitted by Challenger Minerals Inc. and has since transferred to R K Petroleum Corp. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 114K barrels of oil and 8.74K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2022. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
