The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 26, 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 Delaware, Castile, Bell Canyon, Cherry Canyon.
Its lease has reported 886K barrels of oil and 1.87M mcf of gas since July 2018, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
