n: in pipeline construction, a combination of anchors used to hold a lay barge on station and move it forward along the planned route. Lay-barge anchors may weigh in excess of 20 tons (18 tonnes),and a dozen or more may be needed.

n: 1. a flat-decked, shallow-draft vessel, usually towed by a boat. Barges are not self-propelled. They are used to transport oil or products on rivers, lakes, and inland waterways. Also, a complete drilling rig may be assembled on a barge and the vessel used for drilling wells in lakes and in inland waters and marshes. Similarly, well service and workover equipment can be mounted on a barge. 2. an offshore drilling vessel built in the shape of a ship. Unlike a ship, however, it is not self-propelled. Also called a drill barge.

marine vessel without its own propulsion.

n: a spot sample of free water taken from beneath the petroleum contained in a ship or barge compartment or a storage tank.

n: a vessel used to bury a pipeline beneath the seafloor. The barge moves forward by means of anchors. A jet sled is lowered over the pipeline;as the barge pulls it over the pipe, high-pressure jets of water remove soil from beneath the pipe, allowing the pipe to fall into the jetted-out trench.

n: a pipeline construction technique used in swamps and marshes. The first of several barges clears the right-of-way and digs a trench large enough to float itself and the following barges.

n: a jackup drilling unit in which the drilling rig is mounted on two cantilevers that extend outward from the barge hull of the unit. The cantilevers are supported only at the barge end. Com- pare keyway.

n: the application of a liquid slurry of cement and water to various points inside or outside the casing. See primary cementing, secondary cementing. squeeze cementing. cementing barge n: a barge containing the cementing pumps and other equipment needed for oilwell cementing in water operations.

v: To prepare and pump cement into place in a wellbore. Cementing operations may be undertaken to seal the annulus after a casing string has been run, to seal a lost circulation zone, to set a plug in an existing well from which to push off with directional

n: The barge for cementing in offshore.

n: a subdivision of space on a floating offshore drilling rig, a ship, or a barge.
