The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 1, 1997, permitted to 7,718 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Atlantic Richfield CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 12.7K barrels of oil and 80K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2016. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
