The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 19, 1987, permitted to 9,450 ft.
It was permitted by Sabine Corporation and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 93.3K barrels of oil and 175K 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.
