The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1999 and 2008, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Kaiser-Francis Oil Company and has since transferred to Marathon Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including San Andres, U. Clearfork, L. Clearfork, Wichita-Albany.
Its 2 leases have reported 493K barrels of oil and 33.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
