The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 18, 1984, permitted to 4,278 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to J.P. Oil Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 4.18M barrels of oil and 23 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 262 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
