Bennett W. H. #17
Victoria County · Heyser (7500 Sand) field · Vertical
Bennett W. H. #17 (API 42-469-32575) is a well in Victoria County operated by Oryx Energy Company, completed January 1, 1990.
The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits between 1987 and 1996, permitted to 8,050 ft.
It was permitted by Cabot Oil & Gas Production Corp. and has since transferred to Oryx Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including 6000, 6000 Sand, 7400, 7400 Sand.
Its 6 leases have reported 39.5K barrels of oil and 840K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
