The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 7, 1978, permitted to 600 ft.
It was permitted by Gathings, W. G. and has since transferred to Caltex Energy CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 163 barrels of oil and 21 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.
