Smith I. E. #21 (API 42-433-33238) is a plugged well in Stonewall County, plugged May 23, 2018, last operated by L.C.S. Production Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 23, 2001, permitted to 4,900 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 Coleman Junction.
Its lease has reported 385K barrels of oil and 145K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
