The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 4, 1997, permitted to 9,325 ft.
It was permitted by Parker & Parsley Development L.P and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean.
Its lease has reported 92.4K barrels of oil and 244K mcf of gas since May 1996, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
