The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1982, permitted to 5,300 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production CO.-Levelland and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Red Beds, Rustler, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 4.93M barrels of oil and 1.58M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 87 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
