The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 14, 2001, permitted to 5,350 ft.

It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 219K barrels of oil and 95.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
