The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 25, 2011, permitted to 9,855 ft.
It was permitted by JM Cox Resources, L.P. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 158K barrels of oil and 262K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
