n: US organisation that sets standards and specifications for ships and ship equipment manufactured in the United States. The organisation also makes inspections during offshore rig construction and conducts periodic surveys to ensure that requirements for classification are maintained. Its official publications are Records of the American Bureau of Shipping and ABS Activity Report. Address: 2 World Trade Centre;106th floor;New York, NY 10048;(212) 839- 5000.

n: 1. in directional drilling, the direction of the wellbore or of the face of a deflection tool in degrees (0-359") clockwise from true north. 2. an arc of the horizon measured between a fixed point (such as true north) and the vertical circle passing through the centre of an object.

n: Reflecting the direction of wellbore deflection.

n: I. the fore and aft reference line at the upper surface of the flat plate keel at the centre line for flush shell plate vessels. 2. the thickness of the garboard strake above that level for vessels having lap seam shell plating.

n: (BS&W) see sediment and water (S& W). form thick sequences of sedimentary rock. 2. the area drained by a stream and its tributaries. 3. a geologii: structure in which strata are inclined toward a common centre.

n: either of two arbitrary scales-one for liquids lighter than water and the other for liquids heavier than water-that indicates specific gravity in degrees. bbl abbr: barrel. bbV acre-ft abbr: barrels per acre-foot. bbVd abbr: barrels per day. Bcf abbr: billion cubic feet. Bcf/d abbr: billion cubic feet per day. b/d abbr: barrels per day;often used in drilling reports. BID abbr: barrels per day. BOC abbr: bottom dead centre

n: the motion a bit makes when it does not rotate around its centre but instead drills with a spiral motion. It usually occurs to a bit drilling in a soft or medium soft formation when the driller does not apply enough weight or does not rotate the bit fast enough. A whirling bit drills an overgauge hole (a hole larger than the diameter of the bit) and causes the bit to wear abnormally.

n: 1. (slang) an oilfield worker who moves from one centre of activity to another;a floater or transient.2. a device used to tighten chains on a load of pipe or other equipment on a truck to make it secure.

n: (BOC) the positioning of the piston at the lowest point possible in the cylinder of an engine;often marked on the engine flywheel.

n: the greatest overall dimension measured perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the hull of a mobile offshore drilling rig. Also called the beam.

n: an eccentrically shaped disk, mounted on a camshaft, that varies in distance from its centre to various points on its circumference. As the camshaft is rotated, a set amount of motion is imparted to a follower riding on the surface of the cam. In the intenal-combustion engine, cams are used to operate the intake and exhaust valves.
