The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 17, 1983, permitted to 3,600 ft.
It was permitted by Acme Oil Company and has since transferred to Sellers Lease Service Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 57.6K barrels of oil and 815 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
