The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 29, 1987, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Glorieta, Clear Fork, Cisco, Canyon.
Its lease has reported 103K barrels of oil and 19.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
