The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 12, 2012, permitted to 8,800 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Energy Production CO, L.P. and has since transferred to Owl Ops LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Cline.
Its lease has reported 235K barrels of oil and 1.32M mcf of gas since August 2012, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jul 22, 2015. Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
