The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 1999, permitted to 8,650 ft.
It was permitted by Concho Resources Inc. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its 4 leases have reported 105K barrels of oil and 464K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
