It was permitted by Swift Energy Company and has since transferred to Rolling Hills Oil & Gas Inc on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 101K barrels of oil and 1.26M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
