It was permitted by Superior Oil Company, The and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 53 barrels of oil and 75.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
