The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 7, 1990, permitted to 3,950 ft.
It was permitted by North Star Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Tandem Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 3.05K barrels of oil and 283K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
