The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 14, 2012, permitted to 7,295 ft.
It was permitted by Sandridge Expl. And Prod., LLC and has since transferred to Flux Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cherry Canyon.
Its lease has reported 906K barrels of oil and 2.93M mcf of gas since September 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
