The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 29, 1993, permitted to 5,900 ft.
It was permitted by EP Operating Limited Partnership and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 14.1K barrels of oil and 397K mcf of gas since April 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
