The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 18, 2016, permitted to 7,162 ft.
It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Ineos USA Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 509K barrels of oil and 1.16M mcf of gas since October 2016, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
