The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 17, 1981, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Midland and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 50.3M barrels of oil and 51.5M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 607 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
