Smith I. E. #9 (API 42-433-30883) is a well in Stonewall County operated by L.C.S. Production Company, completed December 14, 1978 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2021.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 16, 1978, permitted to 4,614 ft.
It was permitted by Martin Oil CO. and has since transferred to L.C.S. Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 385K barrels of oil and 145K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
