It was permitted by Premier Natural Resources, LLC and has since transferred to Priest Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including 4700' Zone, 5200', 5600', Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 83K barrels of oil and 59.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
