The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 12, 2014, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by Elk Meadows Resources LLC and has since transferred to Thresher Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.9K barrels of oil and 102 mcf of gas since April 2005, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
