The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 29, 1995, permitted to 3,900 ft.
It was permitted by Riseden Services, Inc. and has since transferred to Quail Creek Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 108K barrels of oil and 70.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2003. The lease carries 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
