It was permitted by Strand Energy, L.C. and has since transferred to G & F Oil Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 24.6K barrels of oil and 8.41K mcf of gas since March 2006, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
