FIRST SEEN BY PETRORA JUN 17, 1985 · WHY THIS DIFFERS FROM THE ISSUE DATE

Permitted fields

3 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
Wildcat6001 · the district's wildcat field	Any	Oil or gas
53814400	—	Gas
Linnville Bayou (8400)53814450	—	Gas

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