n: a number used to correct a meters inaccuracy. The factor is derived by dividing the actual volume of liquid passed through a meter during proving by the volume registered by the meter. For subsequent metering operations, the actual throughput, or gross measured volume, is determined by multiplying the indicated volume registered on the meter by the meter factor.

a correction factor applied to a meter to increase measurement accuracy in a range.

n: the multiple passes or round trips of the displacer in a prover for purposes of determining a meter factor. v: to establish the meter factor by comparing meter through-put to a prover of known volume.

n: indicator of drilling fluid.

n: see methylorange filtrate alkalinity.

multi-finger caliper tool.

abbr: a trademark name for multiple formation evaluation. See also drill stem test.

n: a naturally occurring flake material of varying size used in combatting lost circulation. Chemically an alkali aluminum silicate.

a silica mineral, often present as ultra thin flakes and sometimes mobile.

the small energy emissions from small feature tectonic events, including production of fluids from a reservoir and the resultant transfer of overburden to the matrix of the reservoir.

small, hollow ceramic or glass beads used as a lightening agent for special, ultra light weight cements.

n: a stable. translucent micellar emulsion of oil. one or more surface active agents. water. and sometimes an electrolyte. A microemulsion is classed as an emulsion because it is a mixture of immiscible substances (oil and water) and because it can have oil-in-water and waterin- oil phases. It can also have a phase in which neither oil nor water is dispersed. however, but are alternated in layers. A microemulsion has certain properties that are like a solution rather than an emulsion: it is optically clear rather than clouded. and it is stable, i.e.. the oil and water do not separate. Microemulsions are used for chemical flooding of reservoirs. See chemical flooding, emulsion. solution.

an emulsion with very tiny, highly dispersed bubbles. May be very stable and highly viscous when the internal phase is high (>75%).
