The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 17, 1994, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Cometra Oil And Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Unknown, Miocene (undifferentiated), Franks (8900), Franks(8900).
Its lease has reported 1.08M barrels of oil and 362K mcf of gas since February 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
