University 38 A #2 (API 42-003-36126) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged February 3, 2012, last operated by Sandridge Expl. And Prod. LLC.
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 Sandridge Expl. And Prod. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Yates.
Its 2 leases have reported 9.95K barrels of oil and 3.77K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2014. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
