University -A- #4 (API 42-371-32794) is a well in Pecos County operated by Mid-States Operating Company, completed February 15, 1980 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 29, 1979, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by M & G Oil Company and has since transferred to Mid-States Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 28K barrels of oil and 184 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
