Alexander K. J. #17 (API 42-047-31590) is a well in Brooks County operated by Herschap Bros., completed March 26, 1991.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 11, 1990, permitted to 5,200 ft.
It was permitted by Roma Oil And Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Herschap Bros. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Woodville, Catahoula, Frio, Hockley.
Its 2 leases have reported 182K barrels of oil and 8.63K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
