The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 27, 2023, permitted to 10,800 ft.
It was permitted by Pri Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Vtx Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.49M barrels of oil and 4.87M mcf of gas since April 2023, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
