Shirk Ellen -E- #10 (API 42-461-31918) is a well in Upton County operated by Burlington Resources Oil&Gas CO., completed December 5, 1982.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 11, 1982, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Pip Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Burlington Resources Oil&Gas CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.15M barrels of oil and 14 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 684 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
