Proposal
This proposal suggests a new tag man_made=borehole
for Boreholes, which may be used for bores that are not covered by
man_made=petroleum_well
or man_made=water_well
.
It also proposes that the tag direction=extraction
/injection
/both
may be used in combination.
Rationale
There is already a tag for petrol/oil/gas wells: man_made=petroleum_well
. There is also a tag for water wells, man_made=water_well
.
However, none of these work for geothermal bores, or boreholes used for monitoring/probing/research.
Tagging
They should be mapped as a Node, tagged with
man_made=borehole
. Just like petroleum_well
and water_well
.
There are two relevant subkeys:
substance=*
- the substance coming in or out of the bore, if anydirection=extraction
/injection
/both
- whether the substance is coming out of the ground, or into the ground. SeeInjection well. If not specified,
extraction
is implied by default.
Purpose of the bore | Tag |
---|---|
Extraction of petrol/oil/gas | man_made=petroleum_well + substance=petrol /oil /gas
|
Extraction of water | man_made=water_well
|
Extraction of geothermal steam | man_made=borehole + substance=steam + (direction=extraction - optional, implied)
|
Extraction of superheated geothermal water | man_made=borehole + substance=hot_water + (direction=extraction - optional, implied)
|
Re-injection | man_made=borehole + substance=* + direction=injection
|
Both re-injection and extraction | man_made=borehole + substance=* + direction=both
|
Environmental monitoring | man_made=borehole
|
Geotechnical investigation | man_made=borehole
|
Probing for a substance | man_made=borehole
|
Research | man_made=borehole
|
Measuring temperature | man_made=borehole
|
Unknown purpose or unknown substance being extracted | man_made=borehole
|
Discouraged tag combinations:
man_made=borehole
+substance=petrol
/oil
/gas
- in most situation you should useman_made=petroleum_well
insteadman_made=borehole
+substance=water
- in most situation you should useman_made=water_well
instead
Note:
- As always in OSM, if a bore is only used temporarily and then filled back up, you should not map it.
- If the physical hole or structure remains, but is not being used, then
man_made=borehole
can be used withdisused=yes
Examples
-
Many geothermal bores feeding into a network of pipelines
-
A geothermal bore
-
The inside of a borehole
-
A
Drilling rig digging a bore
Rendering
Maps that render man_made=petroleum_well
should consider rendering this tag.
