The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 29, 1998, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Neg Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.08K barrels of oil and 3.46K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 2008. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
