The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1996 and 2000, permitted to 6,750 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Chevron U. S. A. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Wlfcmp, Wolfcamp, Canyon.
Its 3 leases have reported 1.32K barrels of oil and 219K mcf of gas since July 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
