FIRST SEEN BY PETRORA OCT 17, 1977 · WHY THIS DIFFERS FROM THE ISSUE DATE

Permitted fields

2 fields on the W-1 · completed in one of them

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
Mellon (10500)60357500	—	Gas
60357600	—	Gas

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