The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1981, permitted to 5,130 ft.
It was permitted by Miles Production CO. and has since transferred to Paratus Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 17K barrels of oil and 119K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
