a test of the well’s producing potential usually done during the initial completion phase.
Industry:Oil & gas
in fields in which improved recovery techniques are being applied, the well through which oil is produced.
Industry:Oil & gas
a combination of a potential test and a bottomhole pressure test the purpose of which is to determine the effects of different flow rates on the pressure within the producing zone of the well to establish physical characteristics of the reservoir and to determine the maximum potential rate of flow.
Industry:Oil & gas
a granular substance (sand grains, aluminum pellets, or other material) that is carried in suspension by the fracturing fluid and that serves to keep the cracks open when fracturing fluid is withdrawn after a fracture treatment.
Industry:Oil & gas
a well-servicing outfit used in pulling rods and tubing from the well. See production rig.
Industry:Oil & gas
a measuring instrument run inside casing to obtain an indication of the presence or absence of hydrocarbons outside the casing, to determine water saturation in a reservoir behind casing, to detect water movement in the reservoir, to estimate porosity, and to estimate water salinity.
Industry:Oil & gas
a special cased hole logging method that uses radioactivity reaction time to obtain measurements of water saturation, residual oil saturation, and fluid contacts in the formation outside the casing of an oil well.
Industry:Oil & gas
a device that increases the pressure on a fluid or raises it to a higher level. Various types of pumps include the bottom hole pump, centrifugal pump, hydraulic pump, jet pump, mud pump, reciprocating pump, rotary pump, sucker rod pump, and submersible pump.
Industry:Oil & gas
the cylinder or liner in which the plunger of a sucker rod pump reciprocates.
