Sterling County · Conger SW (Penn) field · Producing · Vertical
Cope-Andrews Unit #1 (API 42-431-30937) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed February 4, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 31, 1980, permitted to 8,500 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 2.98K barrels of oil and 508K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
