The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1984 and 1996, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, False Buda.
Its lease has reported 94.1K barrels of oil and 450K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in November 2023. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
