Guitar North #2H
Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut IN · Horizontal
Guitar North #2H (API 42-227-38835) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by SM Energy Company, completed April 23, 2021 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 12, 2016, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Qstar Operating LLC and has since transferred to SM Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, San Andres, Glorieta.
Its lease has reported 9.31M barrels of oil and 39.3M mcf of gas since March 2017, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 35 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
