n: A formation pressure that is higher than the normal formation fluid hydrostatic pressure.

n: pressure exceeding or falling below the pressure to be expected at a given depth. Normal pressure increases approximately 0.465 pow1ds per square inch per foot of depth or 10.5 kilopascals per metre of depth. Thus, normal pressure at 1,000 feet is 465 pounds per square inch;at 1,000 metres it is 10,500 kilopascals. See pressure gradient.

n: A formation pressure that deviates from the normal formation fluid hydrostatic pressure. Such pressure may be classified as "subnormal" (lower than normal) or "overpressured" (higher than normal).

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.

n: 1. the pressure at the bottom of a borehole. It is caused by the hydrostatic pressure of the wellbore fluid and, sometimes, by any back-pressure held at the surface, as when the well is shut in with blowout preventers. When mud is being circulated, bottomhole pressure is the hydrostatic pressure plus the remaining circulating pressure required to move the mud up the annulus. 2. the pressure in a well at a point opposite the producing formation, as recorded by a bottomhole pressure bomb.

n: The pressure at the bottom of the borehole, or at a point opposite the production formation.

n: a specialised form of intermittent-flow gas lift that functions in the same way as other forms, except that, when the injection gas is off, incoming well fluids accumulate in a chamber having a larger diameter than the tubing. For the same volume of fluid, hydrostatic head and wellbore pressure at the formation are both reduced.

n: the amount of force needed to crush the sides of pipe until it caves in on itself. The pipe collapses when the pressure outside it is greater than the pressure inside it.

n: The required pressure collapsing casing from outside.

external hydrostatic pressure that will cause the onset of pipe yielding. Heavily influenced by tension loads on the pipe.

n: in drilling, the entrance of formation fluids into the wellbore because hydrostatic pressure is less than formation pressure.

influx into the well bore.

n: in drilling,formation pressure is balanced by mud fluid hydrostatic column pressure .

n: abnormally high pressure exerted by some subsurface formations. The deeper the formation, the higher the pressure it exerts on a wellbore drilled into it.

n: The pressure within the Earth, or formation pressure. The common oilfield usage, however, is to indicate anomalous subsurface pore pressure that is higher or lower than the normal, predicted hydrostatic pressure for a given depth, or the pressure exerted

n: The change in pore pressure per unit depth, typically in units of pounds per square inch per foot (psi/ft) or kilopascals per meter (kPa/m). The geopressure gradient might be described as high or low if it deviates from the normal hydrostatic pressure gra
