To date, over one million wells in the United States have been assigned these identity numbers. API Well Numbers are usually available on "current wells" from the regu- latory state or federal agencies who assign the number. On "historic wells" the numbers can be obtained from service companies or cooperative groups who originally assigned the numbers to these wells. "Historic wells" are defined as those drilled prior to some specifically established date and "current wells" are those drilled subsequent to that date, Th'ese reference dates are provided in Section VI1 in the contact paragraph for each regulatory agency. The bulletin is organized in the following sections: Section I - The purpose, code structure, and use of the API Well Number; also, definitions for the various hole identifications. Section II - Diagrams that illustrate the proper methods of number assign- ment. Section III - Regulatory procedures for assignment of the numbers. Section IV - Origin of state and county numeric codes. Section V - Maps and descriptions of the states, pseudo-states, offshore state waters, and offshore federal waters, Section VI - State and pseudo-state numeric codes. Section VI1 - County and pseudo-county numeric codes for each state. Section VI11 - Pseudo-county numeric codes for offshore federal waters. Section IX - Codes for Mexico. Section X - General codes for undesignated waters. -I- 1/1/79 BULL D12A-79 10732290 0005383 9 i API WELL NUMBER AND STANDARD STATE AND COUNTY NUMERIC CODES INCLUDING OFFSHORE WATERS List of Maps UNITED STATES Map No. Page 1.

The original report of the Subcommittee on Well Data Retrieval Systems was adopted and published as Appendix A, API BULLETIN D12, April 1966, WELL DATA GLOSSARY. Appendix A was superseded by API BULLETIN D12A, April 1968, THE API WELL NUMBER AND STANDARD STATE AND OUNTY CODES. A revised edition of BULLETIN D12A was published December 1970, Supplement 1 published September 1974 extended the coding to cover the Northern Gulf of Mexico offshore. This new edition, January 1979, extends the coding to all North American offshore waters including those adjacent to Mexico.

Acknowledgment The API Subcommittee on Well Data Retrieval Systems was formed in 1962 to achieve as much compatibility as possible between cooperative well data sys- tems. A primary objective of the Subcommittee was to develop a standard method of nationwide identification of wells for use in computer well data systems. The Subcommittee acknowledges the numerous contributions from Co-workers, computer systems analysts, geologists, and engineers for their part in the final development of the ideas presented in this report. These individuals were involved because of their work with various industry cooperative computer well data systems and with their own proprietary data systems. Special appre- ciation is expressed to the Advisory Members from the federal government and from state regulatory agencies for their participation and advice. -4- 1/1/79 BULL -Dl2A-79 0732290 0005287 b I- Subcommittee Membership (1-1-79) C.

Denver, CO SECTION I THE API \JELL NUMBER ITS PURPOSE, CODE STRUCTURE, AND USE Introduction The oil and gas industry is making large scale use of computers to handle data on wells in day-to-day operations. This is also true for many state and federal oil and gas regulatory agencies. Some states and some departments of the federal government accept much of their required regulatory data on either punched cards or magnetic tape from the oil and gas industry. Many service companies, data gathering agencies, and professional organizations are using computer systems to store and process well data. A need common to all of these organizations is a simple, consistent method for identifying all wells--an identity that will not change through time and an identity that will not change with various well operations. 1/1/79 -5- BULL D12A-79 -3 0732290 0005188 8 It is imperative that each well (i.e., hole-in-the-ground) be uniquely identified in order for computer-oriented data to be

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document defines and supports a standard for the identification of petroleum wells in the USA. This Standard is the official successor to Bulletin D12A of the American Petroleum Institute (API). In 2010, the API transferred custody of this Standard to the Professional Petroleum Data Management (PPDM) Association. The revised API Number is at least a 12-digit number assigned to every wellbore and is the successor to previous versions. It is a foundation for the management and exchange of all information from or about all petroleum wells in the USA.

DATA DICTIONARY Column Header Description County The name of the Pennsylvania county where the surface hole location of the well is located. Municipality The name of the Pennsylvania municipality where the surface hole location of the well is located. Operator Name The organization name designated as the well operator or operator on the permit application or well registration. The name given to a well by the Well Operator, usually the landowner at the time of permitting, which does not change. The Farm Name and Well Number normally uniquely identify the well for Farm Name the operator. Latitude The latitudinal value, in decimal degrees, for the well. Longitude The longitudinal value, in decimal degrees, for the well. Formation Name The name of the formation from which the unconventional well production is permitted (e.g., Marcellus, Utica, Helderberg, Mandata, Rhinestreet, Burket, Geneseo). A yes or no indicator that will represent whether the well is a horizontal well, meaning a well that starts off being drilled vertically but which is eventually curved to become horizontal (or near Horizontal horizontal) in order to parallel a particular geologic formation, or not. Includes intentionally deviated wells. API The American Petroleum Institute (API) well number or API number is a "unique, permanent, numeric identifier" assigned to each well drilled for oil and gas. Well Permit Number A unique number assigned by DEP to each well permit application (first 10 digits of the API number).
