DRILLING: The well is in the drilling phase - can be active drilling, logging, testing or plugging,
JUNKED: The drilling operation has been terminated due to technical problems.
P&A: Exploration: The well is plugged and abandoned, and can not be reentered for further use. Development wells: The production/injection from/to the well is stopped and the well is plugged. The wellhead is removed or else made unavailable for further well operations.
PLUGGED: The wellbore has been plugged, but the upper parts of the wellbore can be re-used. A sidetrack might be drilled at a later stage.
PRODUCING: It was produced from the wellbore at the time of the operators last monthly report to the Norwegian Offshore Directorate.

Sub level – Drill stem tests (DST)
The basic drill stem test tool consists of packers, valve or ports that may be opened and closed from the surface, and two or more pressure-recording devices. The tool is lowered on the drill string to the zone to be tested. The packers are set to isolate the zone from the drilling fluid column. The valves or ports are then opened to allow for formation flow while the recorders chart static pressures. A sampling chamber traps clean formation fluids at the end of the test. A DST typically consists of several flow periods separated by shut-in periods where pressure is allowed to restore (buildup) towards static conditions. The first flow period is the cleanup period.The initial shut-in period is usually followed immediately by an extended period of flow. The well is then shut-in for the final or main buildup period. Data obtained during this period are analyzed to determine permeability and skin effect. Final flow periods commonly range from 4 to 24 hours, and final buildup periods from 6 to 48 hours.Sub level – Drill stem tests (DST) Attibute headingDescriptionTagData typeNPDID wellboreNorwegian Offshore Directorate's unique id for the wellbore.wlbNpdidWellboreintWellboreOfficial wellbore name based on Norwegian Offshore Directorate guidelines for designation of wells and wellbores.wlbNamevarchar(40)Test numberUsually assiciated with a specific test interval, but may also represent tests under different conditions from the same interval.wlbDstTestNumberdecimalFrom depth MD [m]Top depth of the zone that is opened up for flow, measured depth.wlbDstFromDepthdecimalTo depth MD [m]Bottom depth of the zone that is opened up for flow, measured depth.wlbDstToDepthdecimalChoke size [mm]The choke is a type of orifice installed in a well flow line for the purpose of restricting the flow and controlling the rate of production.

Sub level – Casing and leak–off tests
A casing is a metal or plastic tubing set in the wellbore. A leak-off test is a test to determine the strength of the fracture pressure of the open formation. This test is usually conducted immediately after drilling below a new casing shoe. During the test, the well is shut-in and fluid is pumped into the wellbore to gradually increase the pressure that the formation experience. At some pressure, fluid will enter the formation, or leak off, either moving through permeable parts in the rock or by creating space by fracturing the rock. The results of the leak-off test dictate the maximum pressure or mud weight that may be applied to the well during drilling operations. To maintain a small safety factor to permit safe well control operations, the maximum operating pressure is usually slightly below the leak-off test result.Sub level – Casing and leak–off tests Attibute headingDescriptionTagData typeNPDID wellboreNorwegian Offshore Directorate's unique id for the wellbore.wlbNpdidWellboreintWellboreOfficial wellbore name based on Norwegian Offshore Directorate guidelines for designation of wells and wellbores.wlbNamevarchar(40)Casing typeA typical wellbore will be cased with CONDUCTOR and SURFACE CONDUCTOR types of casing in the upper section, INTERMEDIATE casing through non-reservoir sections, and a PRODUCTION or plastic LINER types of casing, or even OPEN HOLE, in potential reservoir sections towards final total depth of the wellbore.wlbCasingTypevarchar(10)Casing diam.
