The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued March 19, 2003, permitted to 12,250 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Exploration Company, The and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Perdidio Unconformity, Perdido Unconformity, Top Perdido A, Base Perdido A.
Its 2 leases have reported 979 barrels of oil and 1.49M mcf of gas since August 2003, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Oct 13, 2006. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
