The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 23, 2016, permitted to 12,167 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Devon Energy Production CO L.P. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 2.96M barrels of oil and 9.16M mcf of gas since July 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
