The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1997, permitted to 7,750 ft.
It was permitted by Hgn Operating Company, Inc. and has since transferred to Hgn Operating I LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 95.1K barrels of oil and 66.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
