It was permitted by Whiting Oil And Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Extex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.11M barrels of oil and 281K mcf of gas since September 2005, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
