The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1996, permitted to 4,150 ft.
It was permitted by Britnic Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Chaparral Energy L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 30.4K barrels of oil and 51.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2019. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
