West Brahaney Unit #56AX (API 42-501-35768) is a plugged well in Yoakum County, plugged July 19, 2016, last operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 23, 2011, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Walsh Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 6.05M barrels of oil and 2.56M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 247 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
