It was permitted by Vista Resources, Inc. (A) and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 2.05M barrels of oil and 3.05M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 187 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
