The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 3, 1977, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Whiting Oil And Gas Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 7.6K barrels of oil and 4.58K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2016. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
