Sterling W. R. #15
Scurry County · Sharon Ridge (2400) field · Vertical
Sterling W. R. #15 (API 42-415-31638) is a well in Scurry County operated by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, completed February 13, 1986.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits between 1980 and 2016, permitted to 3,600 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork, Wichita-Albany.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.6M barrels of oil and 202K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 42 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 55.2K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through July 2025.
