The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 5, 1996, permitted to 12,870 ft.
It was permitted by Sonat Exploration Company -Tyler and has since transferred to Swift Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 41.6K barrels of oil and 442K mcf of gas since January 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
