n: the force in dynes that a stationary flat plate with a surface area of 1 square centimetre exerts on a similar parallel plate 1 centimetre away and moving in its own plane with a velocity of 1 centimetre per second, the space between the plates being filled with the liquid in question. It is a measure of the resistance that the liquid offers to shear. absolute error n: the difference between the result of a measurement and the true value of the measured quantity as determined by means of a suitable standard device.

n: a measure of the ability of a single fluid (such as water, gas, or oil) to flow through a rock formation when the formation is totally filled (saturated) with that fluid. The permeability measure of a rock filled with a single fluid is different from the permeability measure of the same rock filled with two or more fluids. Compare effective permeability, relative permeability.

permeability to a single phase fluid in a cleaned core.

v: I. to take in and make part of an existing whole. 2. to recover liquid hydrocarbons from natural or refinery gas in a gas- absorption plant. The wet gas enters the absorber at the bottom and rises to die top, encountering a stream of absorption oil (a light oil) travelling downward over bubblecap trays, valve trays, or sieve trays. The light oil removes, or absorbs, the heavier liquid hydrocarbons from the wet gas. See bubble-cap tray, sieve tray, valve tray.

to fill part or all of the pore spaces.

a sonic travel time record of a formation using a tool with an emitter and a detector. Measures porosity and is useful to compare to other porosity longs to estimate pore filling. Also used to generate rock strength evaluations.

n: 1. a hand tool that is powered pneumatically. 2. a chamber filled with compressed air, often used offshore in seismic exploration. As the gun is trailed behind a boat, air is released, making a low frequency popping noise, which penetrates the subsurface rock layers and is reflected by the layers. Sensitive hydrophones receive the reflections and transmit them to recording equipment on the boat.

seismic source for ocean seismic work.

n: a barometer consisting of a flexible, spring-filled metal cell from which air has been removed and a mechanism that registers. See barograph.

n: a device usually installed on the first joint of casing to regulate automatically the amount of mud in the casing. The valve in this shoe keeps mud from entering the casing until mud pressure causes the valve to open, allowing mud to enter.

n: The float shoe that is installed in the bottom of the casing string and can adjust the volume of drilling fluid in the casing. There is a valve in the float shoe. Only when the pressure of drilling fluid is big enough to open the valve can the drilling fl

n: the technique for covering a completed pipeline so that adequate fill materal is provided underneath the pipe as well as above it. Backfilling prevents pipe damage caused by loose rock, abrasion, shifting, and washouts.
