It was permitted by Jet Oil CO. and has since transferred to Southwest Royalties Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 53.1K barrels of oil and 277K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
