Guitar 15 #1 (API 42-227-36574) is a well in Howard County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed July 20, 2011 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2023.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 24, 2011, permitted to 10,035 ft.

It was permitted by Element Petroleum Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Leonard, Wolfcamp, Pennsylvanian, Cline.

Its lease has reported 73.6K barrels of oil and 542K mcf of gas since July 2011, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 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.
