The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued May 26, 2021, permitted to 12,240 ft.
It was permitted by Ares Energy, Ltd. and has since transferred to Firebird Energy II LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 712K barrels of oil and 1.21M mcf of gas since March 2022, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
