n: the US Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service rules and regulations that must be followed by those who drill and produce oil and gas wells located in the Outer Continental Shelf.

the inside annulus;tubing-by-production casing annulus. (Note, there may be regional differences in the A, B, C annulus designations and some are reversed. Inside annuli (IA) and outside annuli (OA) are more universally descriptive.)

Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association.

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.

v: To stop drilling or production operations when it becomes unprofitable. A wildcat may be abandoned after poor results from a well test. Cement plugs are placed in the wellbore to prevent fluid migration between different zones.

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: 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.

adv: on or in a ship, offshore drilling rig, helicopter, or production platform.

the maximum rate that a well can produce at the lowest possible bottom hole pressure.

n: a procedure whereby a product may be subjected to intensified but controlled conditions of heat, pressure, radiation, or other variables to produce, in a short time, the effects of long- time storage or use under normal conditions.
