It was permitted by Markay Oil & Gas Company and has since transferred to Ridglea Energy I LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 18.6K barrels of oil and 469 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
