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: termination of a jurisdictional sale or service. Under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must determine in advance that the present or future public convenience and necessity" or depletion of gas supplies requires termination.

Costs associated with the abandonment of facilities or services, including costs for the removal of facilities and restoration of the land.

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.

v: the procedure whereby one threaded piece (such as a pipe) is unscrewed from another.

v: To disconnect a string of pipe by unscrewing one threaded piece from another.

unscrewing a tool or equipment. In pipe recovery, back-off of a joint precedes recovery of the upper section in a well. Common in plug and abandonment or sidetrack operations.

n: igneous or metamorphic rock, which seldom contains petroleum. Ordinarily, it lies below sedimentary rock. When it is encountered in drilling, the well is usually abandoned.
