The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 24, 1998, permitted to 5,990 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Sojourner Drilling Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Clfk, Tubb, Coleman Junction, Wlfcmp.
Its 2 leases have reported 930K barrels of oil and 335K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
