The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 21, 1984, permitted to 6,900 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Cml Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Ey-1, Ey-2, Ey-3.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.01K barrels of oil and 49.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2012. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
