The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 31, 1985, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Orla Oil & Gas Inc. and has since transferred to Reef Exploration L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Base Salt, Delaware, Top Olds, Cherry Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 607 barrels of oil and 9.73K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2013. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
