Gaines County · Means N. (Queen Sand) field · Shut In · Vertical

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 10, 2006, permitted to 4,305 ft.
It was permitted by Parallel Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Parallel Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 130K barrels of oil and 22.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
