new-field wildcat	An exploratory well drilled to search for an occurrence of hydrocarbon at a relatively considerable distance outside the limits of known pools of hydrocarbon, as those limits were understood at the time.	.	current
new-pool wildcat	An exploratory well drilled to search for additional pools of hydrocarbon in close proximity and at the same stratigraphic level as known pools.	.	current
shallower-pool wildcat	An exploratory well drilled to search for additional pools of hydrocarbon in close proximity, but at a shallower stratigraphic levels than the known pools.	.	current
deeper-pool wildcat	An exploratory well drilled to search for additional pools of hydrocarbon in close proximity to known pools of hydrocarbon but at a deeper stratigraphic levels than the known pools.	.	current
outpost wildcat	An exploratory well drilled to search for additional pools of hydrocarbon or to extend the limits of a known pool by searching in the same interval at some distance from a known pool.	.	current
development	A well drilled in a zone in an area already proved productive.	.	current
stratigraphic test	An exploratory well drilled for the purpose of gathering geologic information on the stratigraphy of an area. Also called core test or C.O.S.T. well.	.	current
service	A well drilled to provide a service such as subsurface fluid monitoring, waste disposal, fluid storage, blowout relief and borehole re-acquisition. Not necessarily an E & P well.	.	current
