It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Sandpoint Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 141K barrels of oil and 60 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
