v: to flare the end of a cylindrical object so that it resembles the bottom of a bell.

n: a short length of pipe (a nipple) installed on top of the blowout preventer. The top end of the nipple is flared, or belled, to guide drill tools into the hole and usually has side connections for the fill line and mud return line.

a funnel shaped pipe at the top of the casing that guides tool string entry and may have a side port for fluid pumping.

a straight through flow line from the wellhead to a flare pit. Often used in diverting flow during a well control incident.

the maximum BTU’s that can be released from a burner while burning with a stable flame and satisfactory combustion.

to remove rough edges, flares, burrs, etc. from a piece of equipment prior to fishing.

n pi: formation gases that are produced during a drill stem test, which is the conventional method of testing formations. Although these gases typically are produced only in very small quantities and consist mainly of natural gas, they become an environmental concern when the gases fall into the extremely hazardous substance category under SARA and are produced in sufficient quantities so that they exceed the TPQ limit set for that substance. Typically, wells are not set up for production operations when the drill stem test is run;consequently, gas-containment equipment is not installed or operational during the running of the test and such gases must be released or flared.

n: an arrangement of piping and burners used to dispose (by burning) of surplus combustible vapours, usually situated near a gasoline plant, refinery, or producing well. v: to dispose of surplus combustible vapours by igniting them in the atmosphere. Raring is rarely used, because of the high value of gas and the stringent air pollution controls.

n: An open discharge of fluid or gas to the atmosphere. The flare is often ignited to dispose of unwanted gas around a completed well.

a burner on a remote line used for disposal of hydrocarbons during clean-up, emergency shut downs and for disposal of small volume waste streams of mixed gasses that cannot easily or safely be separated.
