The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 24, 1977, permitted to 5,250 ft.
It was permitted by Cornell Oil CO. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, T. San Andres.
Its lease has reported 20.3M barrels of oil and 35.4M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 268 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
