The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 9, 1988, permitted to 7,900 ft.
It was permitted by Machin, Art & Associates, Inc. and has since transferred to Samson Lone Star LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Glen Rose, Massive Anhydrite (marker), Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.73K barrels of oil and 212K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
