The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 5, 1994, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Watusi Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 964K barrels of oil and 27.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 24 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
