It was permitted by Tema Oil And Gas Company and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 830K barrels of oil and 2.37M mcf of gas since August 2014, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
