The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1985, permitted to 5,900 ft.
It was permitted by Cities Service Oil & Gas Corp. and has since transferred to Milagro Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 306 barrels of oil and 148K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2011. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
