The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1991, permitted to 4,507 ft.

It was permitted by Jones Company, Ltd. and has since transferred to Van Operating Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including T/Gardner, T/Strawn Ls, T/Caddo.

Its 2 leases have reported 28.8K barrels of oil and 49.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2004. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
