The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 14, 1981, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Bullet Drilling Company and has since transferred to Braka Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Caddo, Marble Falls, Mississippian.
Its lease has reported 28K barrels of oil and 27.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2001. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
