The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 31, 1992, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Rangeland Exploration Company and has since transferred to Amtex Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Andres, Spraberry, Wolfcamp.
Its 2 leases have reported 87.3K barrels of oil and 132K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
