It was permitted by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 21.3M barrels of oil and 42.2M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 718 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
