It was permitted by Sharp Image Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Cooper Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 107K barrels of oil and 218K mcf of gas since January 2000, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
