The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 20, 2008, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Extex Operating Company and has since transferred to Newport Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including 550' Sand, Coleman Junction, 700' Sand, 800' Sand.
Its lease has reported 178K barrels of oil and 62 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 35 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
