The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1995 and 1996, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Eor LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 15.9M barrels of oil and 5.02M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 220 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
