Level Description Illustration: Taml Classification System

The TAML classification system provides a standardized way to describe well and junction complexity levels and properties. It ranks wells and junctions on a level scale from 1 to 6 based on factors like the number of junctions, well type (producer, injector, etc.), completion type (single, dual bore), and junction accessibility and flow control. Specific wells and junctions are then described using standardized codes that indicate their classification level and key details to unambiguously communicate well infrastructure and connectivity.
