Sterling X Fee #8 (API 42-431-32495) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed May 10, 2009 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1992 and 2008, permitted to 8,320 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 4 formation tops, including Leonard, Wolfcamp, Cisco, Canyon.

Its 4 leases have reported 623K barrels of oil and 3.57M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 39 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
