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 bottle-shaped steel cylinder located in a blowout preventer control unit to store nitrogen and hydraulic fluid under pressure (usually at 3,(XK)pounds per square inch). The fluid is used to actuate the blowout preventer stack.

Kerogen that lacks distinct form or shape under microscopic exam. May describe oil prone Kerogen.

n: (am) modulation of the amplitude of a radio carrier wave in accordance with the strength of the audio or other signal. amplitudes n pi: shapes and heights of the peaks in a spontaneous potential curve.

the deviation angle (from vertical) at which a solid material will no longer fall down the pipe, but will begin to accumulate on the pipe wall. The angle of repose for dry, round sand is about 62o and for wet sand about 50o to 60o depending on size, shape

n: rock layers folded in the shape of an arch. Anticlines sometimes trap oil and gas. Compare syncline.

n: A configuration of folded and stratified rock layers in the shape of an arch. Often associated with a trap.

a convex-upward formation of rock layers (a fold with the strata sloping down on the sides from a common crest. In association with a sealing rock, an anticline may form a trap for hydrocarbons. Anticlines may be faulted or unfaulted. The majority of the

n: Refers to eyeholes formed by mud desander in drilling operation.

the unobstructed opening size (diameter, length and width, or other shape factor).

n: A colloidal, viscosity-building clay used principally in salt-water muds.

a colloidal, viscosity building clay used in water based muds. They generate viscosity due to the mechanical interference of their straw shaped bodies.

n: on an engine, a bag-shaped piece made of cotton or fiber cloth that fits into a special holder in the fuel system piping. Fuel is circulated through the bag, which removes foreign matter from the fuel.
