The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 19, 2020, permitted to 14,500 ft.
It was permitted by Penn Virginia Oil & Gas, L.P. and has since transferred to FW Eagle Ford I LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.19M barrels of oil and 795K mcf of gas since July 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
