Webb County · Benavides (Lobo Cons.) field · Directional · Sidetrack
Lechenger #17 (API 42-479-35869) is a plugged well in Webb County, plugged November 21, 2008, last operated by Conocophillips Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1993 and 1995, permitted to 9,763 ft.
It was permitted by Transtexas Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Conocophillips Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Wilcox, Wills Point.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.37K barrels of oil and 182K mcf of gas since September 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
