The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 26, 1990, permitted to 6,499 ft.
It was permitted by Pitts Energy CO. and has since transferred to Big AL Oil And Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Rustler, Base Of Anhydrite, Lamar.
Its lease has reported 38.1K barrels of oil and 205K 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.
