The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2010 and 2014, permitted to 4,999 ft.

It was permitted by Hilltex Operating Company, LLC and has since transferred to Beehive Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Strawn, Caddo, Hillview (Caddo), Duffer.

Its 4 leases have reported 45.8K barrels of oil and 96.1K mcf of gas since August 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
