Operators
Who ran it then, and who runs it now
Units change hands and nobody updates the file. StrataHawk keeps each operator with the dates it held the unit, so a question about 2016 is as easy to answer as one about this morning. Active wells in a unit follow it, and you can record the change from the unit or from the operator — whichever you happen to have open.
The P-5 number keeps one company to one record and points at its likely wells, so a different spelling on a permit does not quietly become a second operator.
A dated history, not a field somebody typed over
