n: The inadvertent mechanical incorporation and dispersion of air into a drilling fluid system. See also Aeration.

0.763 lb/ft3 at standard temperature and pressure.

n: diving in which a diver uses a normal atmospheric mixture of oxygen and nitrogen as a breathing medium. It is limited to depths less than 190 feet (58 metres) because of the dangers of nitrogen narcosis;however, dives with bottom times of 30 minutes or less may be conducted to a maximum of 220 feet (67 metres).

n: a method of rotary drilling that uses compressed air as the circulation medium. The conventional method of removing cuttings from the wellbore is to use a flow of water or drilling mud. Compressed air removes the cuttings with equal or greater efficiency. The rate of penetration is usually increased considerably when air drilling is used;however, a principal problem in air drilling is the penetration of formations containing water, since the entry of water into the system reduces the ability of the air to remove the cuttings.

n: A method of rotary drilling that uses compressed air as the circulating medium.

drilling with air instead of drilling mud (requires diverters at the surface to handle cuttings and formation fluids).

n: a part of a LACT unit installed ahead of the metering equipment to separate and remove mass volumes of air and gas from the fluid.

n: the distance from the normal level of the sea surface to the bottom of the hull or base of an offshore drilling platform or rig.

n: The distance from normal sea level to drill platform when marine drilling.

the clearance between the highest water surface that occurs during the extreme environmental conditions and the underside of the deck.

n: 1. a hand tool that is powered pneumatically. 2. a chamber filled with compressed air, often used offshore in seismic exploration. As the gun is trailed behind a boat, air is released, making a low frequency popping noise, which penetrates the subsurface rock layers and is reflected by the layers. Sensitive hydrophones receive the reflections and transmit them to recording equipment on the boat.

seismic source for ocean seismic work.

n: a hoist operated by compressed air;a pneumatic hoist. Air hoists are often mounted on the rig floor and are used to lift joints of pipe and other heavy objects.

n: 1.the injection of air into a reservoir in a pressure maintenance or an in situ combustion project. 2. the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a diesel engine by means of a jet of compressed air.
