The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 14, 2010, permitted to 16,500 ft.
It was permitted by Hughes, Dan A. Company, L.P. and has since transferred to Freeport-Mcmoran Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 367K barrels of oil and 410K mcf of gas since October 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
