The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 15, 1999, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Walter Exploration Inc. and has since transferred to L.C.S. Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cyn Sand.
Its lease has reported 385K barrels of oil and 145K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
