The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1978 and 2006, permitted to 7,250 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Atlantic Richfield CO.-Silsbee on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 168K barrels of oil and 278K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
