The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 9, 1982, permitted to 1,990 ft.
It was permitted by Haigood & Campbell and has since transferred to Nortex Production CO. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 13.1K barrels of oil and 36 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
