n: rock layers folded in the shape of an arch. Anticlines sometimes trap oil and gas. Compare syncline.

n: A configuration of folded and stratified rock layers in the shape of an arch. Often associated with a trap.

a convex-upward formation of rock layers (a fold with the strata sloping down on the sides from a common crest. In association with a sealing rock, an anticline may form a trap for hydrocarbons. Anticlines may be faulted or unfaulted. The majority of the

n: the wind associated with a high-pressure area.

n: a substance used to prevent foam by greatly increasing surface tension. Compare defoamer.

n: Using the method that decreases surface tension to prevent forming foam or decreases or eliminates the former foam.

a material that can quickly destabilize foam in a production fluid treating facility. Commonly needed after treatment with foamers, diesel, some polymers, some acids and gasified fluids.

any action designed to reduce or prevent fouling (deposits) on a surface.

n: a substance, such as tetraethyl lead or other compounds, added to the fuel of an internal-combustion engine to prevent detonation of the fuel. Antiknock compounds effectively raise the octane rating of a fuel so that it burns properly in the combustion chamber of an engine. See octane rating, tetraethyl lead.
