The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 19, 2002, permitted to 10,200 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Exploration Company, The and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1 barrels of oil and 13.1K mcf of gas since October 2002, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
