The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 28, 1987, permitted to 9,300 ft.
It was permitted by Baytech, Inc. and has since transferred to Bustamante Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 54.2K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
