Well Permits Overview Status of a well identifies its current state of activity. Over the life of a typical well it will have a progression of status changes – licensed > drilling > completed > production/injection/disposal > suspended > abandoned (decommissioned). The lifespan of a well can vary, from a few years to many decades. A well may go directly from a drilling status to abandoned status if it is unsuccessful in finding oil or gas.

Facilities are a system of vessels, piping, valves, tanks and other equipment that are used to gather, process, measure, store or dispose of petroleum, natural gas or water. … The upstream facility network includes equipment for the handling of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and water. The table is a summary of new facility permits and facilities permits appended for upgrade to production or equipment.
