The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1996, permitted to 3,550 ft.
It was permitted by Caprock Engineering, Inc. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Brown Dolomite, White Dolomite, Weatherd Granite, Weathered Granite.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.19K barrels of oil and 189K 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.
