The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 27, 1985, permitted to 3,950 ft.
It was permitted by Omni Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Sojourner Drilling Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including T/Saddle Creek, T/Palo Pinto, B/Palo Pinto, T/Middle Capps.
Its lease has reported 4.98K barrels of oil and 5.91K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2009. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
