The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 20, 1982, permitted to 869 ft.
It was permitted by Joiner, J. W. and has since transferred to Rainer Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 2.2K barrels of oil and 98 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
