The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 8, 1994, permitted to 10,065 ft.
It was permitted by MW Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Clear Fork.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.41M barrels of oil and 736K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 168 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
