peer agreement (net): +1indomptable ou imprévisible comme un chat sauvage Explanation: Santa Rita No. 1 - History From 1917 - 1919 more than 5000 oil and gas exploration permits were issued by the General Land Office for University Lands. No exploration was attempted until 1921. On August 23, 1921 (just 4 hours prior to the expiration of the applicable permit) the historic Santa Rita No. 1 was spudded in Section 2, Block 2, University Lands, Reagan County. Drilling continued for almost two years at the drill site which was isolated by a shortage of adequate roads and limited transportation facilities. It has been said that the only sounds came from the rig, roadrunners and rattlesnakes. Finally the historic day arrived on May 28, 1923, when a rattlesnake noise began at the well bore and changed to the sound of a wild prairie wind. Santa Rita came in with oil blowing over the top of the derrick and spraying the countryside. The first well drilled on University Lands, Santa Rita No. 1, was officially transformed into a bona fide oil well. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-03-28 16:16:50 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Wildcat est en fait un forage expérimental donc ce serait le plus parfait des forages expérimentaux -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-03-28 16:18:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- C\'est un puit creusé dans un but d\'exploration |

Exploratory wells are drilled to extend the boundary of a known producing area in an attempt to discover new pools or define the limits of known reservoirs. Source EX – Cores are usually taken on exploration wells and early development wells. Source EX – In general, wildcat wells are drilled from mobile, floating vessels (as semisubmersible drilling rigs and drill ships) or from jack-up drilling rigs, while development wells are drilled from platforms.
