The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 5, 2014, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Lime Rock Resources II-A, L.P. and has since transferred to Unitex Oil & Gas L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen.
Its lease has reported 267K barrels of oil and 712K mcf of gas since March 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
