Wellbores on record

OCC well records list 23 open wellbores (20 oil, 2 injection or disposal and 1 other or unclassified) with a surface location in this section, plus 10 plugged and 4 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.
