The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 22, 1991, permitted to 4,900 ft.
It was permitted by American Cometra, Inc. and has since transferred to Caribbean Energy LLC II on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 417K barrels of oil and 825 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
