The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 24, 1995, permitted to 2,400 ft.
It was permitted by Validus Operating Inc. and has since transferred to Genesis Well Service on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.9K barrels of oil and 7.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
