SCHEDULE 1

CLASSIFICATION OF WELLS

The classification of wells must include, if applicable,
1. the fluids in the well;
2. its type;
3. its role;
4. its status;
5. its direction;
6. the abundance of fluids.

Fluids in the well	Oil, gas, condensate, bitumen, CO2, H2S, water, brine, water vapour, non-combustible gas or other
Type of well	Exploration, production or storage, based on the licence held by the drilling authorization holder
Role of the well	Well use
Producing	Well used to extract petroleum or brine from a pool
Injecting	Well used to inject fluids in an underground formation to enhance petroleum recovery
Cyclical	Well used for the production and injection, alternately, on a regular basis
Service - supply	Well used to collect the fluids necessary for the production or injection operations
Service - storage	Well used for the injection and withdrawal of substances determined in the Regulation respecting petroleum exploration, production and storage licences, and the pipeline construction or use authorization (chapter S-34.1, r. 3)
Service – disposal	Well used as permanent location to store discharges in a reservoir
Service - relief	Well used to intercept another well that is blowing out
Observation	Well used to monitor the conditions of a geological formation or other wells of a reservoir or to determine the decline characteristics of a reservoir
No role currently	Well not fulfilling any role
Other	Well having another unidentified role
Status of the well	State of the well at a given point in time
Planned drilling	Well for which a drilling authorization has been granted, but whose drilling work has not yet been deemed to have started
Activity underway	Well for which authorized work is underway
Production	Well from which fluids are extracted
Injection	Well in which fluids are pumped
Temporary interruption (shut‑in)	Well in which work is interrupted for a short period, between 2 activities or 2 operations
Temporary closure	Well that has been temporarily closed
Permanent closure	Well that has been permanently closed in accordance with the well or reservoir closure and site restoration plan
Restoration	Well that has been permanently closed and whose work site has been restored to the satisfaction of the Minister in accordance with section 114 of the Act
Cancellation	Well whose drilling authorization is revoked or expired
Other	Well that has another unidentified status
Direction of the well	Vertical, directional or horizontal
Abundance of fluids	Primary, secondary, indication or trace
