## Page Highlights

**Recent Drilling Activity**: Morgenstern Oil Operations has minimal recent permitting activity with only one well permitted in the 24-month tracking period. The single permit represents new development plans but indicates limited current capital deployment compared to larger operators.

**Geographic Focus**: All current permit activity is concentrated in Rice County, Kansas, despite the page tracking Texas and Oklahoma filings. This suggests either limited operations in the stated coverage area or data classification that includes Kansas operations.

**Formation Targets**: The sole active permit targets the Central Kansas Uplift play, a conventional oil and gas producing formation. No lateral length is specified for the permitted well, suggesting it may be a vertical completion.

**Permit Timeline**: The June 2025 permit date indicates recent filing activity, though the single permit over 24 months reflects a very limited drilling program.
