The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 19, 2010, permitted to 10,550 ft.
It was permitted by Berry Oil Comp. and has since transferred to Xto Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 417K barrels of oil and 746K mcf of gas since April 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
