The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 14, 1989, permitted to 5,880 ft.
It was permitted by Texstar Energy Operators, Inc. and has since transferred to R. E. M. Drilling Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 19.9K barrels of oil and 12.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 26 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
