The structure designation must be unique for the field (some fields are made up of several blocks); i.e. once a platform ``A'' has been used in the field there should never be another platform ``A'' even if the old platform ``A'' has been removed. Single well free standing caissons should be given the same designation as the well. All other structures are to be designated by letter designations.(b) Location plat............... Latitude and Your plat must be longitude drawn to a scale coordinates, of 1 inch equals Universal 2,000 feet and Mercator grid- include the system coordinates of coordinates, the lease block state plane boundary lines. coordinates in You must submit the Lambert or three Transverse Mercator Projection System, and distances in feet from the nearest block lines.
