The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1998, permitted to 9,600 ft.
It was permitted by Vastar Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Mmgl East Texas Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Paluxy, Rodessa, Pettit.
Its 3 leases have reported 12.2K barrels of oil and 2.28M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
