The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1998 and 2003, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by Hilcorp Energy Company and has since transferred to Forest Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Catahoula, Frio, Greta, Sinton.
Its 4 leases have reported 148K barrels of oil and 701K mcf of gas since February 1998, last reporting in July 2019. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
