Arco Sterne Fee #1 (API 42-457-30061) is a well in Tyler County operated by Prudential Drilling Company, completed February 1, 1973.

The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits between 1995 and 2002, permitted to 7,345 ft.

It was permitted by Premium Exploration Company and has since transferred to Prudential Drilling Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Cockfield Yegua, Cockfield/Yegua, Cockfiels Yegua, Yegua.

Its 7 leases have reported 72.4K barrels of oil and 623K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 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.
