The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1993 and 2012, permitted to 9,001 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Energy Production CO, L.P. and has since transferred to Linn Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Ingram, Bertram, Wardner, Sponberg.
Its 2 leases have reported 355 barrels of oil and 915K mcf of gas since January 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
