It was permitted by Whittington Operating Company and has since transferred to Owl Petroleum Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 4.42K barrels of oil and 9 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
