It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Longview and has since transferred to Valence Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.87M barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 46 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
