The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1985 and 2001, permitted to 8,600 ft.
It was permitted by Rme Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 66.1K barrels of oil and 124K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
