The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 25, 1993, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 99.7M barrels of oil and 44.2M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 1,657 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
