Cherokee County · White Oak Creek (Rodessa) field · Producing · Vertical
New Birmingham B Gas Unit 2 #1 (API 42-073-30154) is a well in Cherokee County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed August 31, 1977 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 17, 1995, permitted to 9,923 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Woodbine, Buda, Massive Anhydrite (marker).
Its 2 leases have reported 6.07K barrels of oil and 4.78M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
