It was permitted by Sun Exploration & Production CO. and has since transferred to Black Gold Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 43.9K barrels of oil and 75.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
