The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 5, 1996, permitted to 2,402 ft.
It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to Basa Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Nacotoch, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 140K barrels of oil and 252K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
