It was permitted by Gulftex Operating Company, Inc. and has since transferred to Evangeline Trading Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 780 barrels of oil and 20 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 1994. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
