Sterling County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Vertical
Council #516 (API 42-431-31853) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed August 3, 1987 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1987, permitted to 8,300 ft.
It was permitted by Wagner & Brown and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Base Cretaceous (marker), Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen.
Its 2 leases have reported 118K barrels of oil and 3.34M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 40 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
