The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 15, 2005, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 65.4K barrels of oil and 2.06M mcf of gas since October 2005, last reporting in December 2022. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
