It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to Morningstar Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 2.48M barrels of oil and 3.87M mcf of gas since December 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 37 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
