The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 24, 1984, permitted to 8,600 ft.

It was permitted by Schlachter, David A. and has since transferred to Schlachter Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 9.02K barrels of oil and 57.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
