It was permitted by Burns Operating and has since transferred to Wilcox Energy Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 10.5K barrels of oil and 14.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
