Sterling Y Fee #4 (API 42-431-32747) is a well in Sterling County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed October 19, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 2006, permitted to 8,595 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 3 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Cisco, Canyon.
Its 3 leases have reported 79.6K barrels of oil and 724K 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.
Operator of record
Permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
