The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1985, permitted to 4,999 ft.
It was permitted by Buffton Oil And Gas Inc. and has since transferred to Myers A. J. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Caddo, Atoka, Conglomerate, Marble Falls.
Its 2 leases have reported 615 barrels of oil and 105K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
