Sealy Smith Foundation #317 (API 42-475-33880) is a well in Ward County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed June 2, 2022 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2022.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 15, 1988, permitted to 5,300 ft.

It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Base Red Beds, Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen.

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.

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