The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 2006, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by TE-Ray Resources, Inc and has since transferred to Dimock Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 27.4K barrels of oil and 5.23K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2016. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
