University-American 15 #1
Andrews County · Shafter Lake (San Andres) field · Shut In · Vertical
University-American 15 #1 (API 42-003-37044) is a well in Andrews County operated by Ring Energy Inc., completed January 22, 1992 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2021.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 23, 1991, permitted to 4,900 ft.
It was permitted by Western Reserves Oil Company Inc and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 83.4K barrels of oil and 23K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
