The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 2010, permitted to 6,330 ft.
It was permitted by Enervest Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Anderson James K. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Odom.
Its lease has reported 1.82M barrels of oil and 29.9M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 191 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
