The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 3, 1984, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by Minex, Inc. and has since transferred to Foothills Texas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 19.7K barrels of oil and 27 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2013. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
