n: 1. a derrick or crane shaped like the letter A and used to handle heavy loads. 2. an A-shaped openwork structure that is the stationary and supporting component of the mast of a jackknife rig and to which the mast is anchored when it is in an upright or drilling position. 3. the uppermost section of a standard derrick, shaped like the letter A and used as a support in lifting objects such as the crown block to the water table.

n: A kind of "A" frame gin pole, used to elevate heavy object.

n: a well not in use because it was a dry hole originally, or because it has ceased to produce. Statutes and regulations in many states require the plugging of abandoned wells to prevent the seepage of oil, gas, or water from one stratum of underlying rock to another.

n: Usually refers to a well which has no valuable oil or gas production or a dry hole. In general, it should be packed by cement plug.

n: a procedure whereby a product may be subjected to intensified but controlled conditions of heat, pressure, radiation, or other variables to produce, in a short time, the effects of long- time storage or use under normal conditions.

n: The total time from beginning of the accident to the normal situation.

n: material of high specific gravity formed during the chemical refining treatment of oils by sulphuric acid and usually separable by settling or centrifuging. Also called acid tar.

v: to treat oil-bearing limestone or other formations with acid for the purpose of increasing production. Hydrochloric or other acid is injected into the formation under pressure. The acid etches the rock, enlarging the pore spaces and passages through which the reservoir fluids flow. Acid also removes formation damage by dissolving material plugging the rock surrounding the wellbore. The acid is held under pressure for a period of time and then pumped out, after which the well is swabbed and put back into production. Chemical inhibitors combined with the acid prevent corrosion of the pipe. acid recovery plant n: plant for therecovery of sulfuric acid from acid sludge.

a sonic travel time record of a formation using a tool with an emitter and a detector. Measures porosity and is useful to compare to other porosity longs to estimate pore filling. Also used to generate rock strength evaluations.

n: the process of recording the acoustic characteristics of sub- surface formations, based on the time required for a sound wave to travel a specific distance through rock. The rate of travel depends on the composition of the formation, its porosity, and its fluid content. Also called sonic logging.

near formation area is irradiated with neutrons that transform some nuclei into isotopes. The isotopes produced can be detected by radioactive energy levels and decay time. The original elements can be described from this behavior.

n: the operation of bringing a measuring instrument, such as a meter, into a satisfactory state of performance and accuracy.
