v: to cease producing oil and gas from a well when it becomes unprofitable or to cease further work on a newly drilled well when it proves not to contain profitable quantities of oil or gas. Several steps are involved: part of the casing may be removed and salvaged;one or more cement plugs are placed in the borehole to prevent migration of fluids between the different formations penetrated by the borehole;and the well is abandoned. In most oil-producing states, it is necessary to secure permission from official agencies before a well may be abandoned.

to cease efforts to produce or inject fluids in a wells and to plug the well sufficiently to protect the environment and the ability to redrill and develop other reserves at a later date.

n: 1. A vertical, cylindrical vessel that recovers heavier hydorcarbons from a mixture of predominantly lighter hydrocarbons. Also called absorption tower. 2. A vessel in which gas is dehydrated by being bubbled through glycol. See absorb.

n: It refers to the row tube holding thezinky
material during the analysis of drilling fluid. Used to survey the content
of H2S.

a vertical, cylindrical vessel that recovers heavier (longer carbon chain) hydrocarbons from a mixture of lighter hydrocarbons.

n: the gasoline extracted from natural gas by putting the gas into contact with oil in a vessel and subsequently distilling the gasoline from the heavier oil.

gasoline extracted from wet natural gas by putting the gas in contact with oil.

n: one of usually two, three, or more mud tanks that holds drilling mud that is being circulated into a borehole during drilling. They are called active tanks because they hold mud that is currently being circulated.

n: a large, sloping sedimentary deposit at the mouth of a canyon, laid down by intermittently flowing water, especially in arid climates, and composed of gravel and sand. The deposit tends to be coarse and unworked, with angular, poorly sorted grains in thin, overlapping sheets. A line of fans may eventually coalesce into an apron that grows broader and higher as the slopes above are eroded away.

land counterpart of a river delta. Characteristic of sediments that have been transported by a fast moving stream then dropped out of the flow as the stream velocity drops as it spreads out. Typical of zones of heavy water runoff such as found at the base

n: The phenomenon that nature gas enters into another formation or overflow the surface through circline cement mantle between casing and formation.

n: the rate at which mud is travelling in the annular space of a drilling well.

n: The linear velocity of a fluid passing through an annular space. The term critical annular velocity is often used to describe the flow rate or velocity at which entrained solids will be efficiently transported by the annular fluid. If the fluid velocity f

the velocity of fluids flowing in the annulus. Important in clean-up and displacement processes.

n: one of a group of solid. liquid, or semisolid materials that are predominantly mixtures of heavy hydrocarbons and their non-metallic derivatives and are obtained either from natural bituminous deposits or from the residues of petroleum refining.

the weak section of soft rock in the upper mantle just below the lithosphere. It is involved in plate movement. Depth is 70 to 100 km below the surface.

v: 1. to collect a mass of sticky consolidated material, usually drill cuttings, on drill pipe, drill collars, bits, and so forth. A bit with such material attached to it is called a balled-up bit. Balling up is frequently the result of inadequate pump pressure or insufficient drilling fluid. 2. in reference to an anchor, to fail to hold on a soft bottom, pulling out, instead, with a large ball of mud attached.

n: The phenomenon that drill bit or drill tool is surrounded by cutting and viscous mud in drilling progress.
