University 40-21 B #4 (API 42-495-32631) is a plugged horizontal well in Winkler County, plugged August 5, 2008, last operated by Continental Resources Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 20, 1997, permitted to 8,700 ft.

It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Continental Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Delaware, Cherry Canyon.

Its lease has reported 309K barrels of oil and 307K mcf of gas since October 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 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.
