The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1993 and 2013, permitted to 11,250 ft.
It was permitted by Wcs Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 136K barrels of oil and 1.29M mcf of gas since March 1993, last reporting in September 2025. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
