The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 30, 2019, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Primexx Operating Corporation and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Bell Canyon, Bone Spring, Castile, Cherry Canyon.
Its lease has reported 501K barrels of oil and 912K mcf of gas since September 2017, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
