It was permitted by Wtg Exploration and has since transferred to Blackbeard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 225K barrels of oil and 44.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
