Section 23, T20N R16W, Major County, Oklahoma

Section at a glance

Orders by relief type: 1 pooling, 1 increased density and 2 location exception.

Legal description

OCC final orders that list this section

Each order number opens the Commission's imaged copy of the signed order. An order can cover several sections; the relief column says when it does.

Applicant names are shown only for businesses; an order filed by a private person shows "Not shown".

Wellbores on record

OCC well records list 1 open wellbore (1 oil) with a surface location in this section, plus 2 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.
