It was permitted by Panhandle Producing Company and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 87K barrels of oil and 312K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
