The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 8, 2001, permitted to 3,280 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Miguel.
Its 2 leases have reported 822K barrels of oil and 41.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 88 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
