The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 13, 1987, permitted to 3,700 ft.

It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Danmark Energy Services Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 147K barrels of oil and 49.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2007. The lease carries 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
