critical to success. This course helps you
understand why and how the language that is Online
used to describe the various components of a
well has diverged over time, making clear WebEx
communication difficult. We help you navigate
global semantic differences and understand
exactly what the components of a well are. In
addition, we review the ground-breaking work
done by the collaborative industry project "What
is a Well" (WIAW), and we review the WIAW
interactive tool, baseline definitions,
representative diagrams, and baseline
comparisons.
PDM-003 Well Status and This course gives you a comprehensive 2 hours PPDM Classroom
Classification understanding of how well status and Association

classification systems are used in industry. We
explore challenges associated with many diverse
industry status and classification vocabularies. A

 and the system used in Federal offshore waters.
We use real-world examples to go through the
basics of each survey system, including the
differences between the Metes and Bounds
survey system in the eastern U.S. and in Texas.
The course shows many examples of the
Congressional / Jeffersonian (Township-Range)
System, including some variations on how this
system was first applied in Ohio.

PDM-030 U.S. Well Spotting The United States Well Spotting course builds on Own pace PPDM Online
the information introduced in the U.S. Land Association
Survey Systems course. This class provides
further knowledge on complex locations,
particularly those in Texas and Ohio. We focus
on how a well's position is located and described,
or “spotted.” U.S. Well Spotting gives insight to
much history that explains how the systems in
Texas and Ohio evolved. We guide you through
the process of placing a well on a map or locating
a well that is already on a map. This course is a
“must” for anyone dealing with wells and their
locations.

Recommended Prerequisite: PDM-020
