WBS Wellbore Status

Definition

The well has permanently ceased production or the borehole ceased serving its intended function and has been plugged.

Description

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.
