Sterling County · Herrell East (Queen Sand) field · Shut In · Vertical

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1986 and 1995, permitted to 1,714 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Black River Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.72M barrels of oil and 13K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 61 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
