It was permitted by Mgf Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Magnum Producing LP on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 121K barrels of oil and 135 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
