The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 20, 1996, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 80.2K barrels of oil and 423K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
