The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 10, 2015, permitted to 5,531 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 305 barrels of oil and 762 mcf of gas since September 2015, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
