The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 23, 1992, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Swanson, Tommy Oil CO. and has since transferred to Ktc Oil Enterprises LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 2.44K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
