L. Foster -9- #1 (API 42-431-30692) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed February 10, 1979 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 12, 1978, permitted to 8,100 ft.
It was permitted by Dorchester Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 30.5K barrels of oil and 1.67M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
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.
