It was permitted by Burns, Bill C. and has since transferred to Henry Petroleum Corp. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.59M barrels of oil and 328K mcf of gas since September 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 32 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
