Burns Ella #9 (API 42-163-33404) is a plugged well in Frio County, plugged January 13, 2023, last operated by Bigfoot Oil LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 16, 2009, permitted to 3,700 ft.
It was permitted by Spur Operating CO. and has since transferred to Bigfoot Oil LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Olmos.
Its lease has reported 38.1K barrels of oil and 96 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
