The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1994 and 2004, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Samson Lone Star LP and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 11.3K barrels of oil and 702K mcf of gas since December 1994, last reporting in January 2014. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
