University W #3
Andrews County · Fuhrman-Mascho field · Shut In · Vertical
University W #3 (API 42-003-37979) is a well in Andrews County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed August 5, 2023 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2012.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 6, 1996, permitted to 4,550 ft.
It was permitted by Minihan Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 9.64K barrels of oil and 178K mcf of gas since July 1996, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
