The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 27, 1999, permitted to 8,200 ft.
It was permitted by Collins & Ware, Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Frio.
Its 3 leases have reported 2.73K barrels of oil and 402K mcf of gas since December 1999, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
