Burke-Bales #1 (API 42-485-39689) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged April 30, 2018, last operated by Bales D. F. & M. L..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 30, 1983, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Brown, Bobby and has since transferred to Bales D. F. & M. L. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 20.8K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
