The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1987 and 1989, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Kamb, Inc. and has since transferred to O Bar Operating CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Massive Anhydrite (marker), BMA, Rodessa, Pettit.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.33K barrels of oil and 77.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
