The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1992 and 2003, permitted to 15,000 ft.
It was permitted by U. S. Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 134K barrels of oil and 529K 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.
