It was permitted by Bam Production Company and has since transferred to Jtc Royalties LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 52.4K barrels of oil and 27.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
