The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 13, 1981, permitted to 7,300 ft.
It was permitted by Petroleum Corporation Of Texas and has since transferred to Breck Operating Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 76.7K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2003. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
