University K #1
Ward County · Rhoda Walker (Canyon 5900) field · Vertical
University K #1 (API 42-475-30581) is a well in Ward County operated by Spindletop Drilling CO., completed January 2, 1994.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1978 and 1993, permitted to 21,269 ft.
It was permitted by BC Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Spindletop Drilling CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Delaware, Delware, Cherry Canyon, Brushy Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 77.5K barrels of oil and 306K mcf of gas since January 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
