Vernon Waterflood Unit #1 (API 42-487-31577) is a plugged well in Wilbarger County, plugged August 21, 1998, last operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd..

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1982, permitted to 9,999 ft.

It was permitted by Burk Royalty Company and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Strawn, T/Strawn, Barnett, T/Barnett.

Its 2 leases have reported 24K barrels of oil and 85.5K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The leases carry 21 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
