The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 18, 2012, permitted to 11,743 ft.
It was permitted by Berry Oil Comp. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.02M barrels of oil and 2.32M mcf of gas since July 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 29 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
