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.

n: A formation pressure that is higher than the normal formation fluid hydrostatic pressure.

n: pressure exceeding or falling below the pressure to be expected at a given depth. Normal pressure increases approximately 0.465 pow1ds per square inch per foot of depth or 10.5 kilopascals per metre of depth. Thus, normal pressure at 1,000 feet is 465 pounds per square inch;at 1,000 metres it is 10,500 kilopascals. See pressure gradient.

n: A formation pressure that deviates from the normal formation fluid hydrostatic pressure. Such pressure may be classified as "subnormal" (lower than normal) or "overpressured" (higher than normal).

estimation/measurement of age of a formation, fossil, etc., in years before the present.

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.

n: A formation that has porosity, fracture and cavity. It can cause the fluid lossing during the process of drilling.

n: A formation that has porosity, fracture and cavity. It can cause the mud loss during drilling.

the ratio of the energy absorbed by a formation in relationship to the total energy passing through it.

v: to amass or collect. When oil and gas migrate into porous formations, the quantity collected is called an accumulation.

v: to part or open fractures in productive hard limestone formations by using a combination of oil and acid or water and acid under high pressure. See formation fracturing.

to fracture stimulate a formation by injecting the acid over the parting pressure of the rock and using the acid to etch channels in the fracture face.
