Permitted fields
2 fields on the W-1 · completed in one of them
They are all Barnett Shale fields, so the target formation is the Barnett Shale.
| Field | Formation | Proposed well | Completed in it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14481600 | — | Gas | — |
| Newark, East (Barnett Shale)65280200 | Barnett Shale | Gas | Oct 11, 2002 |
A field shown by number alone has no completed well or production on record, so no RRC list Petrora holds names it.
