The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1983 and 2001, permitted to 7,130 ft.
It was permitted by WG Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Milagro Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Caddo, Marble Falls, Barnett, Ellenburger.
Its 3 leases have reported 14.4K barrels of oil and 834K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
