The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1988 and 1998, permitted to 12,600 ft.
It was permitted by Burlington Resources Oil&Gas CO. and has since transferred to Midland Oil And Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Yates, Dean, Strawn, Devonian.
Its 3 leases have reported 2.87K barrels of oil and 466K 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.
