The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 25, 1980, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Petroleum Corporation Of Texas and has since transferred to Ldf Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 7.92K barrels of oil and 22.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
