It was permitted by Southwestern Gas Pipeline Inc. and has since transferred to Pursley John on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 210 barrels of oil and 8.39K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2005. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
