n: any chemical compound. one element of which is hydrogen, that dissociates in solution to produce free hydrogen ions. For example, hydrochloric acid. HCI, dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions, H+, and chloride ions, CI-. This reaction is expressed chemically as HCI + H+ + CI- . See ion.

a reactive material with a low pH. Common oilfield mineral acids are HCl and HCl/HF.

n: a reaction in which an element has been changed into an unstable isotope during bombardment by neutrons.

near formation area is irradiated with neutrons that transform some nuclei into isotopes. The isotopes produced can be detected by radioactive energy levels and decay time. The original elements can be described from this behavior.

n: see air cleaner filter element.

n: a substance with metallic properties that comprises two or more elements in solid solution. See ferrous alloy, nonferrous alloy.

n: a wireline instrument for measuring bottomhole temperature or pressure. It contains a clock-driven recording section and either a pressure element or a temperature element. It is thin enough to pass downhole through small tubing.

n: a device that secures, or fastens, equipment. In producing wells with sucker rod pumps, a gas anchor is a special section of perforated pipe installed below the pump. It provides a space for gas to break out of the oil. In offshore drilling, floating drilling vessels are often secured over drill sites by large anchors like those used on ships. For pipelines, a device that secures pipe in a ditch.

n: Means of holding the deadline to the derrick or substructure. Usually this is the primary element of the weight indicator

a device with slips that holds equipment in the wellbore.

n: a wrapping material consisting of asbestos saturated with asphalt;one element of pipeline coatings. It is no longer commonly used because asbestos can cause respiratory illness.

n: the smallest quantity of an element capable of either entering into a chemical combination or existing alone.

n: a number that expresses the number of protons and an equal number of electrons in each atom of an element.
