The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1995 and 1997, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Crawford Energy, Incorporated and has since transferred to Crawford And Cameron Group on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 19.2K barrels of oil and 7.41K mcf of gas since December 1995, last reporting in July 2009. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
