The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued October 22, 2020, 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 1.22M barrels of oil and 2.25M mcf of gas since January 2021, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
