Scharbauer A #17 (API 42-317-34073) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged August 19, 2019, last operated by Civitas Permian Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 24, 1997, permitted to 9,700 ft.

It was permitted by Hanley Petroleum Inc. and has since transferred to Civitas Permian Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its 3 leases have reported 2.91M barrels of oil and 6.75M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 48 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.
