The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1983 and 2001, permitted to 12,650 ft.
It was permitted by Setex Oil And Gas Company and has since transferred to Crimson Exploration Oper. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including T/Chalk, B/Chalk, Sub-Clarksville, Subclarksville.
Its 2 leases have reported 12K barrels of oil and 33.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2009. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
