It was permitted by Encon Services, Inc. and has since transferred to Bullet Development LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 40K barrels of oil and 408 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
