University -36- #1 (API 42-003-06547) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged September 12, 1996, last operated by Ring Energy Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 21, 2013, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Wtg Exploration and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Devonian, Fusselman.
Its 2 leases have reported 435K barrels of oil and 510K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
