The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 2002, permitted to 5,800 ft.
It was permitted by BP America Production Company and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 3.02M barrels of oil and 946K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 21 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
