Proposed location of a well for which the Railroad Commission of Texas has granted a drilling permit.
 Permitted Location
A service from storage well that was previously classified as an oil producer.
 Service from Storage/Oil
Dry Hole
A service well that was previously classified as a gas producer.
 Service from Storage/Gas
Any well which produces one barrel or more crude petroleum oil to each 100,000 cubic feet of natural gas.
 Oil
A service from storage well that was previously classified as an oil and gas producer.
 Service from Storage/Oil/Gas
Any well which: (a) which produces natural gas not associated or blended with crude petroleum oil at the time of production; (b) which produces more than 100,000 cubic feet of natural gas to each barrel of crude petroleum oil from the same producing horizon; or (c) produces natural gas from a formation or producing horizon productive of gas only encountered in a wellbore through which crude petroleum oil also is produced through the inside of another string of casing or tubing. A well which produces hydrocarbon liquids, a part of which is formed by a condensation from a gas phase and a part of which is crude petroleum oil, shall be classified as a gas well unless there is produced one barrel or more of crude petroleum oil per 100,000 cubic feet of natural gas; and that the term "crude petroleum oil" shall not be construed to mean any liquid hydrocarbon mixture or portion thereof which is not in the liquid phase in the reservoir, removed from the reservoir in such liquid phase, and obtained at the surface as such.
