The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 4, 1983, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Strahan Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Saratoga Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 8.54K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
