Wellbores on record

OCC well records list 4 open wellbores (2 oil and 2 gas) with a surface location in this section, plus 1 temporarily abandoned, orphaned or on the state-funds plugging list.

Wellbores are counted by surface location. A horizontal well drilled from a neighboring section can produce from this one without being counted here; the orders above are the better guide to that.
