The state of the well as of the report date.
Active: Drilling of the well has commenced. The well may, or may not, be producing.

Plugged OG Well: The well has been lawfully plugged. The well may, or may not, have produced prior to plugging.
Proposed But Never Materialized: 1) A permit application was submitted, but the permit was never issued. 2) The well was entered into the database in error. 3) A permit had been issued, however Department staff have determined that the well was never drilled.
Regulatory Inactive Status: The Department has granted inactive status for the well. (Any well that has not been used to produce, extract or inject any gas, petroleum or other liquid within the preceding 12 months, or any well for which the equipment necessary for production, extraction or injection has been removed, or any well, considered dry, not equipped for production within 60 days after drilling, redrilling or deepening, is, by definition, an abandoned well and shall be plugged upon abandonment pursuant to the Oil & Gas Act. However, the definition of an abandoned well shall not include any well granted inactive status.)
