It was permitted by Southland Royalty Company and has since transferred to O Ryan Oil And Gas on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 69.6K barrels of oil and 89.5K 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.
