The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 17, 1992, permitted to 1,790 ft.
It was permitted by Heydrick Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Newport Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 52.4K barrels of oil and 26 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 46 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
