The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 4, 2000, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Athlon Holdings LP and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Cretaceous, Spraberry, Dean.
Its lease has reported 87.6K barrels of oil and 280K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
