n: compression of air or gas that exists when no heat is transferred between the air or gas and surrounding bodies (such as the cylinders and pistons in a compressor). It is characterised by an increase in temperature during compression and a decrease in temperature during expansion.

n: the adhesion of a thin film of a gas or liquid to the surface of a solid. Liquid hydrocarbons are recovered from natural gas by passing the gas through activated charcoal, silica gel, or other solids, which extract the heavier hydrocarbons. Steam treatment of the solid removes the adsorbed hydrocarbons, which are then collected and re-condensed. The adsorption process is also used to remove water vapour from air or natural gas. Compare absorption.

n: A surface phenomenon exhibited by a solid (adsorbent) to hold or concentrate gases, liquids or dissolved substances(adsorptive) upon its surface, due to adhesion.

the attraction and holding of a layer of a chemical on the wall of a formation. Usually held by ionic charge or wetting preference.

n: a fog caused by the movement of warm, moist air over a surface with a temperature less than the dew point of the air. Also called sea fog.

n: the injection of air or gas into a liquid. In the oil industry a common form of aeration is the injection of natural gas into reservoir liquids standing in a well. Aeration with natural gas reduces the density of the liquids and allows declining reservoir pressure to lift the liquids. See gas lift.

n: The technique of injecting air or gas in varying amounts into a drilling fluid for the purpose of reducing hydrostatic head. See also Air Cutting.

intoduction of air.

Standard density of dry air, free of CO2 at 0oC is 1.292 g/L.

n: a roller cone bit that is specially designed for air or gas drilling. It is very similar to a regular bit, but features screens over the bearings to protect them from clogging with cuttings and thicker hardfacing on the shirttail to protect them from abrasive, high-velocity air or gas drilling fluid.
