Birk C. C #18 (API 42-485-38996) is a well in Wichita County operated by 4j Oil CO. LLC, completed August 3, 1983 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 21, 1983, permitted to 850 ft.
It was permitted by L & J Oil and has since transferred to 4j Oil CO. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 78.9K barrels of oil and 136 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 21 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
