The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 11, 2009, permitted to 1,897 ft.
It was permitted by Texas Energy Operations, LC and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 35.2K barrels of oil and 153 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
