The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 22, 1981, permitted to 3,650 ft.
It was permitted by Hydrocarbon Energies, Inc. and has since transferred to Quatro Oil And Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Home Creek Lm., Canyon, Palo Pinto, Fry Sand.
Its lease has reported 26.6K barrels of oil and 78 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2009. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
