Ward County · War-Wink S. (Wolfcamp) field · Shut In · Vertical
University 18-20 #1 (API 42-475-31774) is a well in Ward County operated by Apache Corporation, completed March 19, 1979 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2019.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 20, 1978, permitted to 11,400 ft.
It was permitted by Union Texas Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 402K barrels of oil and 767K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
