The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 10, 1997, permitted to 3,120 ft.
It was permitted by Vista Resources, Inc. (A) and has since transferred to Grayrock Energy II LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Seven Rivers, Yates, Queen.
Its 2 leases have reported 353K barrels of oil and 181K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
