Smith #1 (API 42-441-33120) is a plugged well in Taylor County, plugged April 3, 2025, last operated by Blackrock Drilling LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 18, 1986, permitted to 2,990 ft.

It was permitted by Morrison Drlg. & Prod. CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Blackrock Drilling LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Saddle Creek, Flippen Lm.

Its lease has reported 7.5K barrels of oil and 51.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
