It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 4.96M barrels of oil and 2.44M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 131 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
