University 15 #2015 (API 42-301-30887) is a plugged well in Loving County, plugged June 6, 2003, last operated by Great Western Drilling Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 22, 1990, permitted to 5,500 ft.

It was permitted by Atropos Exploration Company and has since transferred to Great Western Drilling Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Castile, Lamar, Delaware.

Its lease has reported 46.8K barrels of oil and 7.88K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2003. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
