Sarah #4523 (API 42-461-37416) is a well in Upton County operated by SM Energy Company, completed July 28, 2023 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 16, 2011, permitted to 10,800 ft.
It was permitted by Cog Operating LLC and has since transferred to SM Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 671K barrels of oil and 2.52M mcf of gas since January 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
