The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 25, 2002, permitted to 6,815 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 140M barrels of oil and 284M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 538 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
