The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 2004 and 2006, permitted to 9,629 ft.
It was permitted by Welhausen Operating Company, LP and has since transferred to Gtg Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Queen City, Carrizo, Wilcox, Olmos.
Its 2 leases have reported 433K barrels of oil and 901K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
