|
| enumeration |
abandoned |
The status of a facility in which drilling,
completion, and production operations have been permanently
terminated.
|
|
| enumeration |
active |
For a well to be active, at least one of its
wellbores must be active. For a wellbore to be active, at least
one of its completions must be actively producing or injecting
fluids.
|
|
| enumeration |
active -- injecting |
Fluids are actively being injected into the
facility.
|
|
| enumeration |
active -- producing |
Fluids are actively being produced from the
facility.
|
|
| enumeration |
completed |
The completion has been installed, but the
facility is not yet active. This status is appropriate only
before the initial producing or injecting activity.
|
|
| enumeration |
drilling |
The status of a well or wellbore in which drilling
operations have begun, but are not yet completed. The status ends
when another status becomes appropriate.
|
|
| enumeration |
partially plugged |
The wellbore has been plugged from the bottom,
but only partially to the point where it intersects another wellbore.
|
|
| enumeration |
permitted |
The facility has received regulatory approvel,
but drilling has not yet commenced. For a well, it has been spudded.
For a subsequent wellbore, the whipstock or similar device has not
yet been set.
|
|
| enumeration |
plugged and abandoned |
An abandoned well (or wellbore) whose wellbores
have been plugged in such a manner as to prevent the migration of
oil, gas, salt water, or other substance from one stratum to another.
Generally the criteria for this status is controlled by regulatory
authorities.
|
|
| enumeration |
proposed |
The status of a well or wellbore from conception
to either regulatory approval or commencement of drilling.
|
|
| enumeration |
sold |
The facility has been sold, so it is no longer
appropriate to keep a close internal status value. Status values
may be added at later times without changing the sold status.
|
|
| enumeration |
suspended |
Production or injection has been temporarily
suspended in a manner that will allow immediate resumption of
activities.
|
|
| enumeration |
temporarily abandoned |
Production or injection has been temporarily
suspended in a manner that will not allow immediate resumption
of activities.
|
|
| enumeration |
testing |
The facility operations are suspended while
tests are being conducted to determine formation and/or reservoir
properties. For example, a drillstem test. This status also
includes extended testing.
|
|
| enumeration |
tight |
Information about the status of the well is
confidential. This is more explicit than unknown, since it gives
the reason that the status value is unknown.
|
|
| enumeration |
working over |
Maintenance or data acquisition on a well during
the production phase. This includes any relevant job which can be
done while the well is shut in. This includes many jobs that occur
when a well is re-entered.
|
|
| enumeration |
unknown |
The value is not known. This value should not be used
in normal situations. All reasonable attempts should be made to determine
the appropriate value. Use of this value may result in rejection in some situations.
