Albert 17 #2 (API 42-317-38438) is a well in Martin County operated by New Height Energy LLC, completed July 30, 2013 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 22, 2013, permitted to 10,909 ft.
It was permitted by Crownquest Operating, LLC and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 118K barrels of oil and 303K mcf of gas since February 2013, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Aug 29, 2016. Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
