Well Origin
Contents |
Definition
A Well Origin is the location on the surface of the earth or sea bed where the drill bit is planned to penetrate or does penetrate the earth to establish or rework a Well.
Clarification
A Well has only one Well Origin, which is the earth surface location of one or more planned or actual Wellbores.
How would this component be used? Why is it defined as a separate entity?
A unique well origin constitutes a well - thus it is used by all business functions for identification and mapping purposes.
Wellbore in the PPDM Data Model
Wellbores are loaded in the WELL table, with WELL_LEVEL_TYPE = 'Wellbore'. Create relationships between the wellbore and other well components in the WELL_XREF table.
A high level mapping is shown in the attachment.
What is a Well Workgroup
This definition has been created and approved by the What is a Well workgroup, who have developed baseline definitions for well components (http://www.WhatIsAWell.org). Recommendations for changes may be discussed in the discussion page (see the tab above) or forwarded directly to the workgroup.
