The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 13, 2003, permitted to 19,260 ft.
It was permitted by El Paso Production Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including U Sd, Usd.
Its 2 leases have reported 146 barrels of oil and 321K mcf of gas since July 2003, last reporting volume in May 2025. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Sep 19, 2006. Gamma ray, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
