The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 22, 1982, permitted to 5,400 ft.
It was permitted by Embrey Oil Production CO. and has since transferred to Lake Cherokee Production LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 4.25K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
