The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 10, 2013, permitted to 10,700 ft.
It was permitted by Midland Oil And Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Would Have Pay, Spraberry, Mississippian.
Its lease has reported 73.5K barrels of oil and 291K mcf of gas since June 2014, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
