It was permitted by Amerada Hess Corporation and has since transferred to Deep Blue Operating I LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 95.7K barrels of oil and 741 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
