It was permitted by Parallel Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Parallel Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 148K barrels of oil and 70.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2016. The lease carries 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
