Sterling County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Vertical
Sterling X Fee #9 (API 42-431-32719) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed January 9, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 2005, permitted to 8,340 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 Wolfcamp, B. Wolfcamp, Cisco, Canyon.
Its 4 leases have reported 626K barrels of oil and 3.57M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 39 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

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.

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.
