It was permitted by White Knight Production LLC and has since transferred to FX Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 32.5K barrels of oil and 615K mcf of gas since May 2012, last reporting in March 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
