The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1997 and 2016, permitted to 10,152 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 439K barrels of oil and 999K mcf of gas since October 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
