It was permitted by F & S Petroleum, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Alaron Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 46.2K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
