The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 2001, permitted to 6,050 ft.

It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 13.5M barrels of oil and 3.84M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 212 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
