The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 13, 1985, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Demco Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to R & R Well Service on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.86K barrels of oil and 39 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 1999. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
