It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Ranger 40 Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 192K barrels of oil and 368K 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.
