University #233 (API 42-383-35131) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged March 20, 2025, last operated by Apache Corporation.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 2, 2001, permitted to 4,000 ft.

It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg.

Its lease has reported 4.85M barrels of oil and 2.24M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 124 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
