It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Surge Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.44M barrels of oil and 3.16M mcf of gas since March 2013, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
