The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 19, 1987, permitted to 4,400 ft.
It was permitted by Brothers Production Company and has since transferred to Three Span Oil & Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Anhydrite, Yates, San Andres, Glorieta.
Its lease has reported 573K barrels of oil and 95.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
