n: The operation of a round pulling out the hole and running due to bit change or other reasons.

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 well not in use because it was a dry hole originally, or because it has ceased to produce. Statutes and regulations in many states require the plugging of abandoned wells to prevent the seepage of oil, gas, or water from one stratum of underlying rock to another.

n: Usually refers to a well which has no valuable oil or gas production or a dry hole. In general, it should be packed by cement plug.

the maximum rate that a well can produce at the lowest possible bottom hole pressure.

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.

n: 1. the process of sucking up, taking in and making part of an existing whole. Compare adsorption. 2. the process in which short wave radiation is retained by regions of the earth.

n: The penetration or apparent disappearance of molecules or ions of one or more substances into the interior of a solid or liquid.

n: a chemical additive that reduces the setting time of cement. See cement, cementing materials.

n: A downhole tool used in conjunction with a jar to store energy that is released suddenly when the jar operates.

n pl: the characteristic patterns for various degrees of cement bonding between the casing and the borehole that appear on an oscilloscope display when a sonic cement bond log is made.

n: one of usually two, three, or more mud tanks that holds drilling mud that is being circulated into a borehole during drilling. They are called active tanks because they hold mud that is currently being circulated.
