Sterling G Fee #3 (API 42-431-30615) is a permitted well in Sterling County filed by Texaco Inc.; no completion report is on file yet.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1977, permitted to 8,050 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 58K barrels of oil and 1.47M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The leases carry 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
