University 17-18 #9 (API 42-475-36755) is a well in Ward County operated by Flux Energy LLC, completed July 1, 2022 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 9, 2014, permitted to 7,415 ft.

It was permitted by Sheridan Production Company, LLC and has since transferred to Flux Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Delaware, Glorieta, Holt.

Its lease has reported 443K barrels of oil and 1.92M mcf of gas since October 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
