Event Sequence Code
The thirteenth and fourteenth digits (00 in the example above) are to distinguish between separate operations in a single bore hole. In 1995, the API Subcommittee on Well Data Retrieval Systems proposed adding the event sequence code to deal with re-entries, recompletions, and hole deepenings. However, because of industry conditions (low oil prices), the subcommittee was disbanded before the recommendations were published and adopted by API
IHS Energy, the successor to Petroleum Information, adopted these unpublished recommendations in January 1999. Data in the WHCS well completion and the Active well database have this event sequence code. However, this event sequence code is assigned by IHS Energy, and is not found in most oil and gas databases.

Famous quotes containing the words event, sequence and/or code:
“The vanishing volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the Adamantine Record of the past.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It isn’t that you subordinate your ideas to the force of the facts in autobiography but that you construct a sequence of stories to bind up the facts with a persuasive hypothesis that unravels your history’s meaning.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
“Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
