It was permitted by Miles Production CO. and has since transferred to Paratus Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Village Bend, Bryson, Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 147K barrels of oil and 85.8K mcf of gas since January 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
