It was permitted by Midland Oil And Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 72.7K barrels of oil and 363K mcf of gas since October 2013, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
