University 38 A #4
Crane County · Block 31 (Penn. 7620) field · Shut In · Vertical
University 38 A #4 (API 42-103-36042) is a well in Crane County operated by Formentera Operations LLC, completed May 23, 2014 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 24, 2012, permitted to 9,220 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pennsylvanian, Woodford, Devonian.
Its lease has reported 19.7K barrels of oil and 181K mcf of gas since July 2013, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received May 25, 2015. Density, Neutron. 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.
