The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1996 and 1999, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Nodosania, Nodosaria.
Its 4 leases have reported 426K barrels of oil and 1.15M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2019. The leases carry 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
