The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 7, 1978, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Dinero Oil Company and has since transferred to Ram Z Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.42K barrels of oil and 24 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
