Permitted fields
9 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.

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