The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 10, 1987, permitted to 12,800 ft.
It was permitted by Davis & Carr Energy CO. and has since transferred to Black Arrow Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, U/Sprayberry, Strawn.
Its lease has reported 84.7K barrels of oil and 197K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
