The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 12, 1988, permitted to 5,950 ft.

It was permitted by Phillips Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 49.4K barrels of oil and 139K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
