The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 27, 1988, permitted to 3,218 ft.
It was permitted by Ray, D. L. Inc. and has since transferred to Royalty Resources L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 107K barrels of oil and 29 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
