Travis County · New Sweden field · Producing · Vertical
Bengston Augusta Est. #17 (API 42-453-30210) is a well in Travis County operated by Electragas Inc., completed August 20, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 7, 1980, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Quintex Oil Exploration Inc. and has since transferred to Electragas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 24.1K barrels of oil and 35 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
