The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 3, 2014, permitted to 10,285 ft.
It was permitted by Breitburn Operating L.P. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Canyon, Cisco, Coleman Junction, Ellenburger.
Its lease has reported 45.6K barrels of oil and 170K mcf of gas since May 2014, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
