The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 18, 2021, permitted to 5,300 ft.
It was permitted by Delta Oil & Gas Ltd. and has since transferred to Nbx Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Frye - Disposal, Flippen Lime - Disposal, King Sand - Disposal.
Its 2 leases have reported 256K barrels of oil and 431K mcf of gas since December 2020, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 66 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
