Sealy Smith Foundation #173
Winkler County · Monahans (Clear Fork) field · Shut In · Vertical
Sealy Smith Foundation #173 (API 42-495-31042) is a well in Winkler County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed September 20, 1988 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2010.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 27, 1979, permitted to 5,300 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Oil Company 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 the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 260 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
