Ward County · War-Wink S. (Wolfcamp) field · Shut In · Vertical
University 20-18 #3 (API 42-475-35516) is a well in Ward County operated by Apache Corporation, completed February 28, 2010 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 9, 2009, permitted to 11,590 ft.
It was permitted by Southwest Royalties, Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Delware, Cherry Canyon, Bone Spring.
Its lease has reported 318K barrels of oil and 440K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in February 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 23, 2011. Cased hole, Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
