Name: | boreholeType
Title: | PTD
Definition: | The type of a borehole based on the purpose for which it was drilled.
Description: | For example, drilled to support the underground testing of munitions, for coring or sampling of bedrock or ice for scientific purposes, or drilled for the injection of waste material.

--- | ---
cathodicProtectionWell | 1 A borehole housing devices to minimize electrolytic corrosion of metallic pipelines, tanks, and other facilities in contact with the ground. Cathodic protection wells (boreholes), sometimes called 'deep groundbeds', are widely installed to protect metallic objects in contact with the ground from electrolytic corrosion. Such objects include petroleum, natural gas, and water pipelines, and related storage facilities; power lines$$$$$ telephone cables$$$$$ and switchyards. Cathodic protection wells are sometimes used to control electrolytic corrosion in large water wells.
disposalWell | 2 A well, often a depleted oil or gas well, into which waste fluids can be injected for safe disposal. Disposal wells typically are subject to regulatory requirements to avoid the contamination of freshwater aquifers.
enhancedOilRecoveryWell | 3 A well drilled as part of an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) activity to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field. Using EOR (also termed 'tertiary recovery'), 30 to 60 percent, or more, of the reservoir's original oil can be extracted compared with 20 to 40 percent using primary and secondary recovery. Enhanced oil recovery is achieved by gas injection, chemical injection, ultrasonic stimulation, microbial injection, or thermal recovery (which includes cyclic steam, steamflooding, and fireflooding).
injectionWell | 4 A well into which water, other liquids, or gases are injected instead of being pumped out. Injection wells are used in petroleum production. Steam, carbon dioxide, water, and other substances can be injected into an oil-producing unit in order to maintain reservoir pressure, heat the oil or lower its viscosity, thus allowing it to flow to a producing well nearby. Injection wells may also be used for waste water dumping, in which waste water is injected into the ground between impermeable layers of rocks to avoid polluting fresh water supplies.
observationWell | 5 A well that is used to observe changes in groundwater levels over a period, or more specifically during a pumping test. Pumping does not normally take place from observation wells, which are typically of relatively small diameter.
weaponTest | 6 A vertical shaft that after installation of the requisite weapon and associated test equipment is blocked (excepting equipment power and signal cables) to prevent the escape of post-explosion residue (for example: radioactive debris). Most nuclear weapon states have constructed underground testing facilities similar to the U.S. Nevada Test Site including numerous boreholes used in weapons development and proof testing. Typical boreholes are 1 to 3 metres (roughly 48 to 120 inches) in diameter and 213 to 762 metres (600 to 2,500 feet) in depth.
radioactiveHole | 7 A wellbore that was not brought into service due to the excessive presence of radioactive materials in subsurface strata. Subsurface formations may contain low levels of radioactive materials such as uranium and thorium and their daughter products, radium 226 and radium 228. Such Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) typically appears in trace amounts and can be brought to the surface through oil or gas wells (for example: when fluids that are present in the radioactive formation are pumped out of the well, or when natural gas contains radon gas, a radium daughter).
serviceWell | 8 A well intended for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Such wells are drilled for the following specific purposes: gas injection (natural gas, propane, butane, flue gas, or carbon dioxide); water injection$$$$$ steam injection$$$$$ air injection$$$$$ saltwater disposal$$$$$ water supply for injection (termed a 'source well')$$$$$ observation$$$$$ or injection for in-situ combustion (termed 'fire flooding').
storageWell | 9 A well that is used to pump materials (for example: liquefied petroleum gas) into an underground reservoir or cavern for later retrieval.
stratigraphicWell | 10 A well that is drilled in order to determine the types and layering of subsurface strata. Such wells may be drilled to: evaluate subsurface rock formations for suitability for oil and/or gas production, solution mining, geothermal development, underground gas storage or brine disposal; investigate subsurface conditions in problem areas$$$$$ or gather information for research (for example: retrieval of ice cores) or construction projects.

Title: | ISDES_2.LAN
Definition: | The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 639-3) three character code that designates the language or macrolanguage of the source of a geographic name.
Description: | A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map, regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in Spanish.

Values: | See listed values
Value Name | Documentation
--- | ---
active | 2 The well is in operation for its intended purpose (for example: natural gas recovery or waste disposal) or the borehole is serving its intended function.
buried | 3 The wellhead is not immediately accessible from the surface, being covered by a significant amount of overburden.
drilling | 4 The wellbore is being drilled.
dry | 5 The wellbore has not encountered hydrocarbons in economically producible quantities. Most wells contain salt water in some zones. In addition, the wellbore usually encounters small amounts of crude oil and natural gas. Whether the well is a 'duster' depends on many factors of the economic equation, including proximity to transport and processing infrastructures, local market conditions, expected completion costs, tax and investment recovery conditions of the jurisdiction and projected oil and gas prices during the productive life of the well.
expired | 6 The mineral rights lease governing the operation of the well has expired.
planned | 7 The well or borehole is planned but drilling has not yet commenced.
plugged | 8 The well has permanently ceased production or the borehole ceased serving its intended function and has been plugged. Different regulatory bodies have differing requirements for plugging operations, typically requiring that cement plugs be placed and tested across any open hydrocarbon-bearing formations, across all casing shoes, across freshwater aquifers, and perhaps several other areas near the surface, including the top 6 to 15 metres (20 to 50 feet) of the wellbore.
pluggedBack | 9 Unproductive drilling operations continued to a greater depth than that at which a potentially productive formation was found, and the well was subsequently completed in the shallower formation with the length of the well bore from the deepest depth at which the well is completed to the maximum depth drilled plugged to ensure against cross-strata fluid migration.
shutIn | 10 The well or borehole has been closed off, the well being shut so that it does not produce a fluid product of any kind, or the borehole is no longer serving its intended function.
suspended | 11 The well has been capped off temporarily.
temporarilyAbandoned | 12 The well has temporarily ceased production or the borehole ceased serving its intended function, some or all recoverable equipment has been salvaged, but the site has been left in a state to readily enable the future resumption of operations.
abandoned | 1 The well has ceased production (for example: because there is insufficient hydrocarbon potential to complete the well, or production operations have drained the reservoir) or the borehole ceased serving its intended function (for example: injection operations are no longer necessary) and all recoverable equipment has been salvaged.
test | 13 The well has not entered full production, being used only for the extraction of limited quantities.
waitingOnCompletion | 14 The well has not yet been 'completed' by the addition of downhole pipe and equipment required to enable safe and efficient production.
