Herring #159RC
Hutchinson County · Panhandle West (Red Cave) field · Producing · Vertical
Herring #159RC (API 42-233-31070) is a well in Hutchinson County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed April 28, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 2000, permitted to 3,243 ft.
It was permitted by Huber, J. M., Corporation and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Red Cave.
Its 2 leases have reported 350K barrels of oil and 5.57M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 95 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
