The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 3, 1991, permitted to 8,760 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hunt Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 309K barrels of oil and 3.09M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in November 2020. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
