v: to join metals by utilising the arc created between the welding rod, which serves as an electrode, and a metal object. The arc is a discharge of electric current across an air gap. The high temperature generated by the arc melts both the electrode and the metal, which fuse.

a large, load supporting formation that may serve to reduce the total overburden load on a pay zone. These formations may cover hundreds of square miles over a basin. A second use is as a semi-stable structure of sand grains around a perforation or other

an eon of geologic time extending from about 3.9 billion to 2.5 billion years ago.

Empirical relationships between the formatu=ion resistivity factor, the porosity, water saturation and the restivity of the fluid in the pore in clean, granular rock.

an empirical relationship between the formation resistivity, F, and porosity, , in which F=1/m, where the porosity exponent or cementing factor, m, is a constant for a particular formation. Typical m’s are 1.8 to 2.0 for consolidated sandstones and 1.3

n: a mobile submersible drilling structure used in arctic areas. The rig is towed onto the drilling site and submerged during periods when the water is free of ice. All equipment below the waterline is surrounded by a caisson to protect it from damage by moving ice. The drilling deck has no square comers so that moving ice can better flow around it. See submersible drilling rig.

n: See permafrost.
