Sterling O Fee #7 (API 42-431-31353) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed July 22, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 2014, permitted to 8,420 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Rustler, Queen, Grayburg, Clear Fork.
Its 4 leases have reported 22.3K barrels of oil and 1.11M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
