The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 13, 2015, permitted to 3,507 ft.
It was permitted by Cholla Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Sojourner Drilling Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 136K barrels of oil since August 2014, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jul 29, 2019. Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
