The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 9, 1985, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Marcum Drilling CO. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 82.3K barrels of oil and 125K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
