The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1983, permitted to 1,900 ft.
It was permitted by Oakridge Oil, Inc. and has since transferred to Oakridge Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Lower Flippen Sand.
Its 2 leases have reported 232 barrels of oil and 488 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
