Wellbores on record

OCC well records list 2 open wellbores (1 oil and 1 gas) with a surface location in this section, plus 6 plugged.

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.
