The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 16, 1980, permitted to 3,250 ft.
It was permitted by A C A Production Company and has since transferred to Gray Gordon Operator on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 6.55K barrels of oil and 270 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
