allowable annular surface pressure.

particles propelled at a velocity sufficient to cause cleaning or wearing away of a surface.

n: the force in dynes that a stationary flat plate with a surface area of 1 square centimetre exerts on a similar parallel plate 1 centimetre away and moving in its own plane with a velocity of 1 centimetre per second, the space between the plates being filled with the liquid in question. It is a measure of the resistance that the liquid offers to shear. absolute error n: the difference between the result of a measurement and the true value of the measured quantity as determined by means of a suitable standard device.

n: a method of joining steel components in which acetylene gas and oxygen are mixed in a torch to attain the high temperatures necessary for welding. As an early type of welding (it was also called oxyacetylene welding),its primary disadvantage was the seepage of molten weld material onto the interior surface of the pipe, often leading to corrosion problems.

n: the process of recording the acoustic characteristics of sub- surface formations, based on the time required for a sound wave to travel a specific distance through rock. The rate of travel depends on the composition of the formation, its porosity, and its fluid content. Also called sonic logging.

n: The circulating fluid for drilling. It content the drilling fluid both in the wellbore and surface circulating system.

n: A thin film that is formed in the surface of the substance after adsorbent adsorbs a substance.

n: The moistness adsorbed in the surface of the solid particle.

n: the adhesion of a thin film of a gas or liquid to the surface of a solid. Liquid hydrocarbons are recovered from natural gas by passing the gas through activated charcoal, silica gel, or other solids, which extract the heavier hydrocarbons. Steam treatment of the solid removes the adsorbed hydrocarbons, which are then collected and re-condensed. The adsorption process is also used to remove water vapour from air or natural gas. Compare absorption.

n: A surface phenomenon exhibited by a solid (adsorbent) to hold or concentrate gases, liquids or dissolved substances(adsorptive) upon its surface, due to adhesion.

the attraction and holding of a layer of a chemical on the wall of a formation. Usually held by ionic charge or wetting preference.

n: a fog caused by the movement of warm, moist air over a surface with a temperature less than the dew point of the air. Also called sea fog.
