How many wells were eventually drilled on the Big Hill?

• A. 200
• B. 214
• C. 212
• D. 220

Answer: (B)

Total counts in field histories represent every well drilled over the field’s life, from discovery to development. For Big Hill, the record adds up every well drilled across exploration, appraisal, and development and arrives at a final tally of 214. That means after all drilling was completed, 214 wells had been completed. A smaller number like 200 or 212 would miss wells drilled later, and a larger number like 220 would exceed the documented final total. So 214 is the final, complete count.
