n: the tendency of proppants to separate from fracture fluid when the speed, or velocity, of the fluid is low.

the tendency of proppants to segregate in the fluids due to density effects when the fluid velocities drop below turbulence.

n: 1. a vessel through which fluids are passed to remove dirt, other foreign matter, or an undesired component of the fluid. 2. a vessel with or without internal devices used to separate en- trained liquids or solids from gas. It may be used to protect downstream rotating equipment or to recover valuable liquids from a gas or vapor originating upstream. 3. a unit that removes carbon dioxide from the divers breathing medium by chemical absorption.

a reactor that removes various components from produced gas.

n: oil that is recovered from a knockout (scrubber) vessel. Usually associated with a plant that requires compression. Gas is scrubbed prior to compression.

abbr: surface-controlled subsurface safety valve.

surface controlled subsurface safety valve.

surface casing vent flow.

shut down valve.

n pi: valve-controlled pipelines, fitted with pumps, which permit a vessel to take on seawater for ballasting into any of the vessels tanks.

n pi: the final testing of a ship or offshore drilling vessel before it is put to work.

a reaction of an elastomer seal by absorbing gas or a liquid and increasing its volume. May or may not be detrimental.
