The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1990, permitted to 4,700 ft.
It was permitted by Atapco and has since transferred to Vanco Oil & Gas Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including B/Coleman Junction, Seratt, Serratt, Goen.
Its 2 leases have reported 82.6K barrels of oil and 422K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
