API-10

The 10-digit version of an API well number, commonly used for joining well records at the base-well level.

API-10 is a source-record concept EnergyNetWatch keeps separate from broader activity claims.

Why It Matters

API-10 is often the join key used when state systems publish different API lengths across permits, production, and completion data.

Where The Public Data Comes From

API identifiers come from state and industry well-numbering systems.

What The Record Can Show

API-10 can identify the base well record without sidetrack and completion suffix detail.

What The Record Cannot Prove

API-10 alone may not distinguish every lateral, sidetrack, completion, or producing interval.

How EnergyNetWatch Uses It

EnergyNetWatch standardizes API formats before joining well, permit, completion, and production records.
