Explanation:
speech you are reporting uses a modal verb. Will, can, and shall change to would, could, and should when reported. If the modal verb is already in its past form, it does not change when reported.

Answer:
Had/has/have been is usually used for something that was done in the past and still applies (multiple events). Was/were usually applies to something done in the past that no longer applies (single event). Example: The well had been producing clean water.
