Birk C. F-18a Farm-Out #F 18A (API 42-485-43385) is a well in Wichita County operated by Texas Energy Operations LC, completed December 28, 1997.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 11, 1997, permitted to 1,999 ft.
It was permitted by Red River Operating & Drlg. CO. and has since transferred to Texas Energy Operations LC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its 2 leases have reported 68.8K barrels of oil and 23 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
