It was permitted by Concho Resources Inc. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 34.4K barrels of oil and 90.3K 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.
