The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 16, 1985, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 18M barrels of oil and 54.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in February 2026. The leases carry 425 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
