Howard N. J. Etal #17 (API 42-337-33200) is a well in Montague County operated by V & H Oil L.P., completed November 10, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 24, 1997, permitted to 1,498 ft.
It was permitted by Bra-De Oil CO. and has since transferred to V & H Oil L.P. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 67.4K barrels of oil and 33 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
