The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 8, 1987, permitted to 1,600 ft.
It was permitted by J-O'B Operating Company and has since transferred to Bitter Creek Petroleum CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Base Dothan Lime, Tannehill.
Its lease has reported 384 barrels of oil and 30 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
