The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 30, 1995, permitted to 19,018 ft.
It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 216 barrels of oil and 6.69M mcf of gas since March 1996, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
