The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 7, 1995, permitted to 8,164 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Devonian.
Its 2 leases have reported 877K barrels of oil and 5.53M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 63 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
