University D #3 (API 42-003-05275) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged May 18, 1993, last operated by Winn Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1985, permitted to 11,140 ft.

It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Winn Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, Devonian.

Its lease has reported 58.9K barrels of oil and 467K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 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.
