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.

adj: of or relating to the bottom waters of the ocean.

depositional environment of the deepest areas of the oceans.

n: the distance from the normal level of the sea surface to the bottom of the hull or base of an offshore drilling platform or rig.

n: The distance from normal sea level to drill platform when marine drilling.

the clearance between the highest water surface that occurs during the extreme environmental conditions and the underside of the deck.

a comparable reservoir with many similar characteristics (e.g., lithology, depositional environment, porosity, perm, drive mechanism, produced fluids, etc.) that can be used for behavior projections comparison studies.

n: (ADS) a oneperson atmospheric suit rated to depths of 2,300 feet (701 metres). Advantages include allowing the operator to work in a safe environment for debris salvage or recovery operations.

n: the depositional environments associated with a shallow lagoon shoreward from a coastal barrier island. These environments are highly variable and may include tidal channels, salt marshes, shell reefs, and mangrove swamps, among others.

the radiation intensity existing in the environment before a specific radiation source is considered.

n: I. the process of breaking down organic wastes with microbes. Bacteria that are naturally present in the environment use microbial enzymes to break down die materials into a soluble form that passes through the cell walls of the bacteria. The bacteria metabolise d1e material and convert it into components d1at are more readily assimilated in d1e environment, such as water or carbon dioxide (i.e., a gardeners compost pile). 2. the creation of engineered and managed conditions to boost natural bioremediation processes. Nutrients are added to stimulate the bacteria naturally present in the waste. Oxygen ari1 pH levels are adjusted for maximum effectiveness, and, if conditions are right, the bacteria grow in large numbers and break down the hydrocarbons much more rapidly than with natural bioremediation. In cases in which the necessary bacteria are not already present in the waste, suppliers can provide diem along with die appropriate nutrients.

n: false influence on well logging measurement caused by the borehole environment, e.g., diameter, shape, rugosity, type of fluid, or mud cake.

n: The distortion of borehole log due to the change of diameter and shape of wellbore or drilling fludi invasion.

The pressure at the bottom of the well. In a producing well the BHP may be the bottom hole flowing pressure or the bottom hole shut-in pressure. In a drilling or workover environment, the BHP is exerted by the column of fluid in the hole.
