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	Completed in it
Wildcat8001 · the district's wildcat field	Any	Oil or gas	Dec 21, 1978
41625800	—	Oil	Dec 21, 1978
41625850	—	Gas	—

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