Ward County · War-Wink S. (Wolfcamp) field · Vertical
University 18-4 #2 (API 42-475-31989) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged December 15, 2022, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 20, 1979, permitted to 12,200 ft.
It was permitted by Hng Oil Company and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 162K barrels of oil and 141K 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.
