The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 14, 2000, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by P. L. O. and has since transferred to Sutherland Energy CO. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 14.9K barrels of oil since August 2000, last reporting in July 2019. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
