University -38- S #3 (API 42-003-36125) is a well in Andrews County operated by Whitehawk Production Company, completed October 21, 1996.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 19, 1988, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Royalty Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Whitehawk Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Yates.
Its 3 leases have reported 11.8K barrels of oil and 5.5K 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.
