Texas University Sec. 15 & 16 #1559 (API 42-103-33580) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged July 1, 2021, last operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 16, 1984, permitted to 3,700 ft.

It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, Queen, Grayburg, San Andres.

Its lease has reported 954K barrels of oil and 392K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 101 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
