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

the equation is used in the design of chokes and explains the manner in which pressure in the body in the body of the choke, downstream of the first pressure drop, is lower than the eventual recovery pressure at the end of the choke.

n: a reef or mound built by small organisms and their remains, such as coral, plankton, and oysters. Originally a waveresistant coral structure served as an anchor for calcareous debris that formed limestone. It was tectonically submerged, or the sea level rose faster than the corals could build it, and it was eventually buried beneath marine shales. A bioherm is often porous enough to hold large accumulations of hydrocarbons, especially if it has been dolomitized. A bioherm is a stratigraphic trap.

n: 1. an obstruction in the borehole, usually caused by the caving in of the well or the borehole or by the intrusion of a large boulder.2.a tool placed in the hole to retain cement or other material;it may later be removed, drilled out, or left permanently.

n: An obstruction in the borehole, caused by a buildup of material such as scale, wellbore fill, or cuttings that can restrict wellbore access or, in severe cases, eventually close the wellbore . In open hole a bridge usually caused by the caving in of the w

a blockage in the wellbore caused by a mass of particles that lock together and prevent pipe movement or flow.

n: a mud that forms on the seafloor by the accumulation of calcite particles. It may eventually become limestone.

a group of unrelated companies working on a specific venture.

n: a venturi tube used to measure fluid flow when a low permanent pressure drop is required for measurement

n: (SI) a system of units of measurement based on the metric system, adopted and described by the Eleventh General Conference on Weights and Measures. It provides an international standard of measurement to be followed when certain customary units, both US and metric, are eventually phased out of international trade operations. The symbol SI (Le Syste`me International dUnites) designates the system, which involves seven base units: (1) metre for length, (2) kilogram for mass, (3) second for time, (4) Celsius for temperature, (5) ampere for electric current, (6) candela for luminous intensity, and (7) mole for amount of substance. From these units, others are derived without introducing numerical factors.

n: A mud-flow device, also called a mud hopper, in which materials are put into the circulating mud system. The mud hopper is powered by a centrifugal pump that flows the mud at high velocity through a venturi nozzle (jet) below the conical-shaped hopper. Dr

n: a device employing a venturi nozzle through which a highpressure stream creates a lower pressure or a vacuum into which the gas to be compressed flows. The gas is discharged from the nozzle with the expanded highpressure medium.
