The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 2014, permitted to 7,450 ft.
It was permitted by Keystone Petroleum NM LLC and has since transferred to Ares Energy Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its 2 leases have reported 61.9K barrels of oil and 1.3M mcf of gas since March 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
