The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1987 and 1996, permitted to 8,240 ft.
It was permitted by Andector Exploration Company and has since transferred to Fina Oil & Chemical Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 34K barrels of oil and 127K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
