It was permitted by Crownquest Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Owl Ops LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 232K barrels of oil and 871K mcf of gas since October 2015, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
