The S.M.A. Unit -B- is the #2 oil unit in Wichita County by Feb 2026 production, and the largest position operated by DARA Operating Company on the legacy Electra-Burkburnett trend.
The S.M.A. designation traces back to the original mid-century unit consolidation. DARA acquired the position years later and has continued steady operation under the Wichita County Regular field designation. The unit’s longevity is typical of the deepest DARA-operated positions in the county — family-name leases that have been continuously produced for many decades.
Operator-side stability is a positive factor in mineral valuation for this unit. DARA is one of the most-tenured operators on the legacy Electra-Burkburnett trend.
