Wilbarger County · Fargo (Ellenburger) field · Producing · Vertical
V. K. Mccaleb #7 (API 42-487-00872) is a well in Wilbarger County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed March 12, 2010 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 16, 2010, permitted to 6,297 ft.
It was permitted by Vess Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Ellenburger.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.35M barrels of oil and 204 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 152 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
