The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 1986, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Gaeton Oil & Gas Corp. and has since transferred to E.C. Hindman Oil And Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Lake Sand, Duffer, Plumb (Ranger Lower).
Its lease has reported 17.2K barrels of oil and 494K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
