The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 23, 1987, permitted to 11,250 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Alta Mesa Services LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Frio, Ban.
Its lease has reported 65.7K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2015. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
