It was permitted by Carpenter, Walter G. and has since transferred to Hunter Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 2.79K barrels of oil and 5.83K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
