It was permitted by Loutex Production Company and has since transferred to A & E Minerals LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 70.2K barrels of oil and 139K mcf of gas since June 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
