The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued December 7, 1989, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Dml Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Mortimer Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg.
Its lease has reported 63.2K barrels of oil and 59 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2014. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
