University -A- #8 (API 42-475-32187) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged September 9, 2005, last operated by Whiting Oil And Gas Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 1, 1980, permitted to 3,100 ft.
It was permitted by MR Oil Company and has since transferred to Whiting Oil And Gas Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 28.8K barrels of oil and 7.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2007. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
