English term

New-Field Wildcat (Lahee Classification)

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci Oil wells
A contract between two oil companies, which I am translating into Spanish from Spain. Apparently this term is a part of the Lahee Classification, the translation of which I am having trouble to find.

Example:

with respect to Crude Oil, when a New-Field Wildcat produces, after its production has been tested in accordance with sound principles of production, the following quantities of Crude Oil (by natural flow or technically sound methods of artificial lift), giving due consideration to the depth, measured from ground level, to the producing stratum and the control choke size:

Reference:

Lahee classification

An NFW well is located at a considerable distance beyond the limits of known pools and is outside the boundaries of existing fields. The well is drilled in an area where hydrocarbons have not yet been discovered. The geological risk of this type of well is very high: in the absence of the discovery of a new pool, the well would be deemed successful. Samples are collected from base of surface casing to total depth.

Adding this definition in Spanish:
De acuerdo a la Clasificación Lahee, los pozos pueden ser identificados como :

*Pozo Exploratorio: es aquel pozo que se perfora como investigación de una nueva acumulación de hidrocarburos, es decir, que se perforan en zonas donde no se había encontrado antes petróleo ni gas. Este tipo de pozos puede perforarse en un campo nuevo o en una nueva formación productora dentro de un campo existente. Es importante destacar que cualquier pozo que se perfora con el objetivo de producir hidrocarburos es, en principio un pozo exploratorio, después de la construcción del mismo, dependiendo del área donde se perforó y del resultado de la perforación la clasificación del pozo cambia y pueden ser productores y no productores
