The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 4, 2018, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Fortuna Resources Dvlpment, LLC and has since transferred to Ciervo Resources Asset Hldg LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 51.4K barrels of oil and 174K mcf of gas since June 2018, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
