The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 7, 1985, permitted to 8,455 ft.

It was permitted by Dcb Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 49.9K barrels of oil and 433K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 2020. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
