The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 4, 1996, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by White, E. C. Oil CO. and has since transferred to Aviator Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 74.7K barrels of oil and 98 mcf of gas since January 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
