The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 2001, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Gruy Petroleum Management CO. and has since transferred to Saddleback Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Queen.
Its 2 leases have reported 22.1K barrels of oil and 90.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2022. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
