University BQ #8 (API 42-003-39423) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged October 15, 2013, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 22, 2004, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Queen, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 208K barrels of oil and 164K mcf of gas since September 2004, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Sep 19, 2008. Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
