Well Status

A source label describing a well lifecycle state, such as permitted, drilling, completed, producing, shut-in, inactive, or plugged.

Well status is a source-record concept EnergyNetWatch keeps separate from broader activity claims.

Why It Matters

Well status keeps users from treating permitted, drilled, completed, and producing wells as the same thing.

Where The Public Data Comes From

Status labels come from state regulatory systems and can vary by state.

What The Record Can Show

A status can show the lifecycle label attached to a well record at source-review time.

What The Record Cannot Prove

Status fields can lag field reality and may not explain why a well changed stage.

How EnergyNetWatch Uses It

EnergyNetWatch keeps status labels close to source dates and record stage in wells, maps, and exports.
