The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1993 and 2000, permitted to 5,525 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Holt, Glorieta.
Its lease has reported 385K barrels of oil and 105K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
