It was permitted by El Paso Production Company and has since transferred to Faulconer Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 23.2K barrels of oil and 505K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
