The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 4, 2013, permitted to 500 ft.
It was permitted by De Larios, R. V., Ltd. and has since transferred to Westneft LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Shale.
Its lease has reported 7.88K barrels of oil since November 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
