Smith I. E. #23 (API 42-433-33243) is a well in Stonewall County operated by L.C.S. Production Company, completed September 4, 2001.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2001 and 2003, permitted to 6,700 ft.
It was permitted by Walter Exploration Company and has since transferred to L.C.S. Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including B/Gunsight Lime.
Its 2 leases have reported 393K barrels of oil and 151K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 27 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
