Archer County · Archer County Regular field · Producing · Vertical
Buerger #14 (API 42-009-38453) is a well in Archer County operated by Schenk Oil CO., completed August 13, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 16, 1984, permitted to 1,300 ft.
It was permitted by Palmer, James W. and has since transferred to Schenk Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Thomas Sand.
Its lease has reported 10.9K barrels of oil and 32 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Palmer, James W.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
