n: a well not in use because it was a dry hole originally, or because it has ceased to produce. Statutes and regulations in many states require the plugging of abandoned wells to prevent the seepage of oil, gas, or water from one stratum of underlying rock to another.

n: Usually refers to a well which has no valuable oil or gas production or a dry hole. In general, it should be packed by cement plug.

n: termination of a jurisdictional sale or service. Under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must determine in advance that the present or future public convenience and necessity" or depletion of gas supplies requires termination.

Costs associated with the abandonment of facilities or services, including costs for the removal of facilities and restoration of the land.

n: the average reservoir pressure at which an amount of gas insufficient to permit continued economic operation of a producing gas well is expelled. abd, abdn abbr: abandoned;used in drilling reports.

The minimum pressure of the reservoir when the wells are abandoned.

a theory of petroleum generation in which petroleum is thought to have formed from hydrocarbons trapped inside the earth’s crust when the earth was forming. See also Biogenic and Organic theories.

a failure mode that can cause the cancellation-of or immediate-halt-to a project or event. Generally expressed as a percent probability.

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).
