The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1991 and 1997, permitted to 9,430 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Flint Oak Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including San Miguel, Anacacho, Austin Chalk, Lower Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 30.2K barrels of oil and 1.04M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
