Sterling County · Conger (Penn) field · Vertical
Sterling M Fee #1 (API 42-431-30592) is a plugged well in Sterling County, plugged May 30, 2013, last operated by Texaco E & P Inc..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 2013, permitted to 7,920 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Texaco E & P Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.12K barrels of oil and 531K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
