FIRST SEEN BY PETRORA MAR 24, 1978 · WHY THIS DIFFERS FROM THE ISSUE DATE

Permitted fields

4 fields on the W-1 · completed in one of them

Beside the district's wildcat field, they are not one formation, so no target formation is stated. The RRC files them in field-number order, not in order of intent.

Field	Formation	Proposed well	Completed in it
Wildcat8001 · the district's wildcat field	Any	Gas	—
Motas Negras63253001	—	Oil	Apr 14, 1978
Stratton (R-4, E.)86508594	—	Oil	—

A field shown by number alone has no completed well or production on record, so no RRC list Petrora holds names it.
