The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued March 25, 1997, permitted to 9,700 ft.
It was permitted by Midland Res. Oper. CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Rover Petroleum Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 27.5K barrels of oil and 107K mcf of gas since August 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
