The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 12, 1985, permitted to 5,920 ft.
It was permitted by P & V Oil CO. and has since transferred to Quail Creek Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Yegua.
Its 2 leases have reported 278K barrels of oil and 165K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
