University 8-9 #4 (API 42-003-44616) is a well in Andrews County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed November 17, 2013 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 14, 2012, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Enervest Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Strawn.
Its lease has reported 136K barrels of oil and 376K mcf of gas since January 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
