v: to cease producing oil and gas from a well when it becomes unprofitable or to cease further work on a newly drilled well when it proves not to contain profitable quantities of oil or gas. Several steps are involved: part of the casing may be removed and salvaged;one or more cement plugs are placed in the borehole to prevent migration of fluids between the different formations penetrated by the borehole;and the well is abandoned. In most oil-producing states, it is necessary to secure permission from official agencies before a well may be abandoned.

to cease efforts to produce or inject fluids in a wells and to plug the well sufficiently to protect the environment and the ability to redrill and develop other reserves at a later date.

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.

n: oil trade organisation (founded in 1920) that is the leading standardising organisation for oilfield drilling and producing equipment. It maintains departments of transportation, refining, marketing, and production in Washington, DC. It offers publications regarding standards, recommended practices, and bulletins. Address: 1220 L Street NW;Washington, DC 20005;(202) 682-8000.

n: a device that secures, or fastens, equipment. In producing wells with sucker rod pumps, a gas anchor is a special section of perforated pipe installed below the pump. It provides a space for gas to break out of the oil. In offshore drilling, floating drilling vessels are often secured over drill sites by large anchors like those used on ships. For pipelines, a device that secures pipe in a ditch.

n: Means of holding the deadline to the derrick or substructure. Usually this is the primary element of the weight indicator

a device with slips that holds equipment in the wellbore.

a method of equating the energy produced by a hydrocarbon gas to a standard oil measurement. One barrel of oil has about the same heat producing capacity as 6,000 ft3 of gas at standard conditions.

n: a technique in squeeze cementing in which (1) the zone below the producing interval is perforated and a high pressure squeeze carried out;(2) the zone the producing interval is perforated and squeezed off in a similar manner;(3) the hole is drilled out;and (4) the producing interval is perforated. The purpose of block squeezing is to isolate the producing interval and prevent communication with the sand immediately above and below the producing interval.

a cement squeeze into a area of perforations. Often done initially over the frac pressure.

barrels of oil equivalent. A method of equating the energy produced by a hydrocarbon gas to a standard oil measurement. One barrel of oil has about the same heat producing capacity as 6,000 ft3 of gas at standard conditions.

The pressure at the bottom of the well. In a producing well the BHP may be the bottom hole flowing pressure or the bottom hole shut-in pressure. In a drilling or workover environment, the BHP is exerted by the column of fluid in the hole.

n: water found below oil and gas in a producing formation.

n: a bridge plug or cement plug placed near the bottom of the bole to shut off a depleted, water-producing, or unproductive zone.

n: Refers to the cement plug or bridge plug located in the downhole, used to packoff depleted formation and water yield formation.
