The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 2017, permitted to 5,700 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Wtp LP and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 4.77M barrels of oil and 9.51M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 33 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
