University 31 #2 (API 42-475-33901) is a well in Ward County operated by Fina Oil & Chemical Company, completed August 6, 1988.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 27, 1988, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Tenneco Oil CO. and has since transferred to Fina Oil & Chemical Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Delaware, Cherry Canyon.
Its lease has reported 38.7K barrels of oil and 324K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
