Smith Walter Unit #18
Stonewall County · Mengel E. (Canyon Sand) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Smith Walter Unit #18 (API 42-433-33285) is a well in Stonewall County operated by L.C.S. Production Company, completed October 2, 2003 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 4, 2003, permitted to 4,700 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 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.
