The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 17, 2025, permitted to 6,050 ft.
It was permitted by Sabinal Energy Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Rustler, Tansil, Yates, Seven Rivers.
Its 2 leases have reported 13.5M barrels of oil and 3.84M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 225 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
