FIRST SEEN BY PETRORA AUG 24, 1979 · WHY THIS DIFFERS FROM THE ISSUE DATE

Permitted fields

3 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 ZN 2, LO fields, so the target formation is the ZN 2, LO.

Field	Formation	Proposed well	Completed in it
Wildcat8001 · the district's wildcat field	Any	Oil or gas	—
80863030	—	Oil	—
Santa FE (ZN 2, LO)80863700	—	Oil	Oct 31, 1979

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