The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1982 and 1985, permitted to 5,376 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Wither, N. (Marg).
Its lease has reported 6.24K barrels of oil and 186 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2006. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
