The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 28, 1991, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Barnhart CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 77.6K barrels of oil and 406 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
