The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 1, 1981, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Dodson, Wayne and has since transferred to Unitex Oil & Gas L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 30.6K barrels of oil and 803 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
