The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 21, 2014, permitted to 5,975 ft.
It was permitted by Newark E&P Operating, LLC and has since transferred to FX Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received May 31, 2017. Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
