The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 11, 1983, permitted to 6,750 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Abilene and has since transferred to Cockrell Production CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Ellenburger.
Its lease has reported 21.1K barrels of oil and 20.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
