Permitted fields

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

Beside the district's wildcat field, the fallback for a zone no field is named for, they are all F-78 fields, so the target formation is the F-78.

Field	Formation	Proposed well	Completed in it
Wildcat8001 · the district's wildcat field	Any	Oil or gas	—

Magnolia City (F-78)56739159	—	Oil	Mar 17, 1986
56739162	—	Gas	—

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