The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 5, 2013, permitted to 5,216 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Surge Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Atoka, Canyon.
Its lease has reported 273K barrels of oil and 370K mcf of gas since November 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
