The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 17, 2011, permitted to 10,200 ft.
It was permitted by Linn Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 239K barrels of oil and 1.68M mcf of gas since November 2009, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
