The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 11, 2021, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Petrolegacy Energy II, LLC and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 495K barrels of oil and 539K mcf of gas since August 2021, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
