a perforating process involving pumping a slurry of liquid and size particles through a nozzle to cut through steel and rock.

n: the injection of air or gas into a liquid. In the oil industry a common form of aeration is the injection of natural gas into reservoir liquids standing in a well. Aeration with natural gas reduces the density of the liquids and allows declining reservoir pressure to lift the liquids. See gas lift.

n: The technique of injecting air or gas in varying amounts into a drilling fluid for the purpose of reducing hydrostatic head. See also Air Cutting.

intoduction of air.

n: a roller cone bit that is specially designed for air or gas drilling. It is very similar to a regular bit, but features screens over the bearings to protect them from clogging with cuttings and thicker hardfacing on the shirttail to protect them from abrasive, high-velocity air or gas drilling fluid.

n: Used compressive air which replaces flushing fluid as circulation media to cool the bit and carry over cuttings.

n: The inadvertent mechanical incorporation and dispersion of air into a drilling fluid system. See also Aeration.

n: a method of rotary drilling that uses compressed air as the circulation medium. The conventional method of removing cuttings from the wellbore is to use a flow of water or drilling mud. Compressed air removes the cuttings with equal or greater efficiency. The rate of penetration is usually increased considerably when air drilling is used;however, a principal problem in air drilling is the penetration of formations containing water, since the entry of water into the system reduces the ability of the air to remove the cuttings.

n: A method of rotary drilling that uses compressed air as the circulating medium.

drilling with air instead of drilling mud (requires diverters at the surface to handle cuttings and formation fluids).

adj: having inadvertent mechanical incorporation of air into a liquid system.

n: The percentage of cutting in the annular space carried by drilling fluid.
