The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 4, 1997, permitted to 3,250 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Granite Wash.
Its lease has reported 22.3K barrels of oil and 82.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
