The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 29, 1977, permitted to 850 ft.
It was permitted by Crown Central Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Dry Creek Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 3.44K barrels of oil and 24 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2023. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
