As first reported to NDIC in each month's report (NDIC Monthly Production Reports, Jan 2003 to Aug 2026). Operators amend past months later and the published reports are not updated, so a month can differ from the current record. A blank or missing month is unknown, not zero, and a cumulative over such months is a lower bound; two pools reported in one month are summed. Rates per producing day divide the month's volume by the days reported, so a month reported without producing days has no rate. Gas–oil ratio is gas produced over oil produced; water cut is water over oil plus water. Months from Jan 2003 to Apr 2015 are read from the Division's PDF reports, which print no flared gas and list a well in a unitized pool only inside its unit's total.

Spacing units

Units whose published footprint holds at least 660 ft of this well's surveyed lateral. Allowances are facts extracted from signed NDIC orders, machine-extracted and not human-reviewed.

Nearby wells

Closest published well heads within 3 miles; wells on one pad share a location.
