Wellbores on record

OCC well records list 60 open wellbores (41 oil, 18 injection or disposal and 1 other or unclassified) with a surface location in this section, plus 20 plugged and 13 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.
