Sterling County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Vertical
Sterling Y Fee #3 (API 42-431-32745) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed April 16, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 2007, permitted to 8,585 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 2 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Canyon.
Its 3 leases have reported 85.9K barrels of oil and 875K mcf of gas since July 1994, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
