It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 79.9K barrels of oil and 1.78M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
