The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 14, 1985, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp, Bend.
Its lease has reported 17K barrels of oil and 54.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2023. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
