The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1997 and 2011, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Upham Oil & Gas Company and has since transferred to Dodson Prairie Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 149K barrels of oil and 332K mcf of gas since March 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
