The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 12, 1979, permitted to 2,800 ft.
It was permitted by Sayers Operating Company and has since transferred to O Ryan Oil And Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 513K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 94 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
