Andrews County · Saint Wilma (Strawn) field · Vertical
Universityamber #1 (API 42-003-40405) is a well in Andrews County operated by Oxy USA Inc., completed July 16, 2010.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 14, 2008, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Exl Petroleum, LP and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.98M barrels of oil and 4.65M mcf of gas since August 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 103 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
