It was permitted by Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 1.6M barrels of oil and 2.07M mcf of gas since April 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 161 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
