The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 30, 1978, permitted to 1,300 ft.
It was permitted by Johnson, F. T., JR. and has since transferred to Johnson & Ernst Operating CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 919 barrels of oil and 9 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2012. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
