The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 13, 2012, permitted to 11,116 ft.
It was permitted by Energen Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Wpx Energy Permian LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Bell Canyon, Bone Spring, A Sand.
Its lease has reported 331K barrels of oil and 954K mcf of gas since December 2012, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Dec 9, 2015. Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
