It was permitted by Range Production Company and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 5.28M barrels of oil and 12.8M mcf of gas since March 2000, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 41 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
