University BF #1 (API 42-003-31723) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged August 4, 1997, last operated by Herbig J F.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 3, 1978, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by United Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Herbig J F on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 3.97K barrels of oil and 3.01K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 1997. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
