It was permitted by MR Oil Company and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 340K barrels of oil and 33.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 24 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
