The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 1, 1981, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Gauntt, John D. JR. and has since transferred to Seagull Operating CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 143 barrels of oil and 16 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 1998. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
