Permitted fields
5 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Wildcat8001 · the district's wildcat field | Any | Gas |
| La Blanca (Frio 11300)50658013 | Frio 11300 | Gas |
| La Blanca (Hamilton)50658025 | — | Gas |
| La Blanca ( 9500)50658880 | — | Gas |
| 50658935 | — | Gas |
A field shown by number alone has no completed well or production on record, so no RRC list Petrora holds names it.
