Stonewall County · Mengel E. (Canyon Sand) field · Vertical
Smith Walter Unit #15 (API 42-433-33218) is a plugged well in Stonewall County, plugged June 16, 2010, last operated by L.C.S. Production Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 13, 2000, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Walter Exploration Inc. and has since transferred to L.C.S. Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including B/Breckenridge Lm.
Its lease has reported 369K barrels of oil and 66.8K mcf of gas since December 1998, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
