The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 27, 1997, permitted to 1,250 ft.
It was permitted by Foster, Charles R. CO. and has since transferred to Mesquite Land & Minerals CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cook.
Its lease has reported 36.3K barrels of oil and 62 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
