The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 1997, permitted to 6,974 ft.
It was permitted by Atapco and has since transferred to Plains Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including 2300 Sand, 2300' Sand, Sinton, Countiss.
Its 3 leases have reported 27.1K barrels of oil and 282K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2009. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
