The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 8, 1982, permitted to 5,200 ft.
It was permitted by Quanah Petroleum Inc. and has since transferred to Kek Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.24M barrels of oil and 87.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 37 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
