The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 31, 2008, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Energen Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Cline.
Its lease has reported 525K barrels of oil and 1.18M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
