The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 26, 2005, permitted to 8,340 ft.
It was permitted by Texas American Resources Company and has since transferred to Enco Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 181K barrels of oil and 57.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
