Sealy Smith Foundation #169
Ward County · Monahans (Clear Fork) field · Shut In · Vertical
Sealy Smith Foundation #169 (API 42-475-31919) is a well in Ward County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed December 16, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 26, 1979, permitted to 5,805 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Oil Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Base Of Red Beds, Base Red Beds, Yates, Seven Rivers.
Its lease has reported 4.66M barrels of oil and 5.39M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 260 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
