The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2006, permitted to 7,150 ft.
It was permitted by Fair Oil, Ltd. and has since transferred to Ginco Operating CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 812 barrels of oil and 10 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
