The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1997, permitted to 8,700 ft.
It was permitted by Keystone Exploration, Inc and has since transferred to United Oil & Minerals L. P. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 18.7K barrels of oil and 159K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2001. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
