It was permitted by Clear Water Inc. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 203K barrels of oil and 1.04M mcf of gas since February 2006, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
